Yeah, the hangup isn't even at the point you're talking about. >From the command line, I put in something like "mvn -P <someprofilein profiles.xml> process-resources" and watch as it doesn't do anything.
Can someone PLEASE take a moment and try to explain this? This isn't covered very well in the online documentation. Or do I just use the ant plugin and have that do a <copy> with an <expandproperties>? -----Original Message----- From: Max Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 6:45 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: probs with profiles - really stuck... I have personally found the profile mechanism to be tricky to setup, but you can generally achieve your goals by applying various activation techniques, etc. Profiles can be activated by properties. You could use a property to activate your dev-crimson profile, specified like 'mvn -DtargetEnv=dev-crimson'. I am not certain, but perhaps the order the profiles in the list define how property value conflicts will be resolved. But even if this is true, it seems to lack the power to give precedence to a profile that is activated by some means other than the command line. A useful trick for avoiding conflicts when using property-activated profiles is to have a profile with a default value for a property be activated when the profile-selecting property is NOT set. You can do this by specifying (e.g.) !targetEnv as the activation property for that profile. And then have other profiles that set the property to something else when the profile-selection property is set (activated when targetEnv has a value of 'dev-crimson', etc.). -Max EJ Ciramella wrote: > Even more fun - if I specify a profile that only exists in my > settings.xml file, some of the resources don't even get processed. > > What gives? > > -----Original Message----- > From: EJ Ciramella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 1:47 PM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: RE: probs with profiles - really stuck... > > If two profiles are loaded and both have a property set in it, which one > takes precedence? > > -----Original Message----- > From: EJ Ciramella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 11:42 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: RE: probs with profiles - really stuck... > > Is there really no way to do this folks?
