I think this is a current shortcoming of profiles, if the profile is activated at the top lvl then it is applied everywhere. You might be able to get away with having the profile at the top lvl not be bound to any phases or goals but just set configuration on a plugin and then in the actual submodules that you want to use it in bind the plugin to the relevent phase and goal, but that kinda depends on the plugin to I think, I doubt you can do that with the maven lifecycle plugins, but some of the others an the mojo's you might be able to get away with it. And even then you should check to make sure the configurations are getting merged, I know I worked with this a while back and thought that the profile id's could be used to meld profile configuration sections but I don't think that worked out the way I thought it should. Profiles are difficult to use when you start getting away from the most simple cases, I think it is something like 'mvn help:effective-pom' to see what you are ending up with.

Further questions... When I have a master module with different submodules, in a some of the submodules I have some stuff done by a plugin, every time it's the same thing, so I'd like to put that in the master pom, and not have to repeat that big XML fragment in every submodule which needs this plugin. How to do it? I thought using profiles might help but it didn't. Although I may define that plugin in a profile in the master pom, when building the whole thing through the master module I didn't find a way to activate that profile only for certain submodules (either from the level of the master pom, or from within the submodules)... any help appreciated -- Wojtek Biela --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
