Yes, but the problem is that you end up with build information residing
outside of the POM. It's fine for properties that are developer-dependent (
e.g. app server's location on disk), but if the properties are
client-related (e.g. build the app for SiteA or for SiteB), it does not work
so well, because in order to build, you have to check out another file (
settings.xml).
I'm fairly new to maven and I don't understand the rationale for not
supporting profile inheritance.
I'm sure there is a good reason, I just don't see it.
Could somebody please shed some light on this?
Thanks,
T.

You can also put the profile in your global settings.xml. Then it will
