Once you've run an archetype, you have a new project. And you're stuck with it, in the sense that you have to keep it maintained.
An important question is this: what artifacts do you want to make as part of a release? If you want a portfolio of artifacts, each for one of your scenarios, then profiles aren't very useful, but the invoker plugin might be. On the other hand, if you never make releases, and you just want to run various build with various results, then profiles can be convenient. The invoker is generally used for testing, and I've never tried it as a solution to DRY-ing up a build that has to produce multiple small variations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
