Mick,
I just discovered how to use profiles myself. I hope
the following will help.
First, you don't need to run mvn always and check the
end results to make sure everything is alright.
Just do:
mvn help:active-profiles
and it will list you all the profiles which will be
used.
In my case I could get profiles working in one of
these ways:
1. add activeprofile to settings.xml
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>default</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
2. specify profiles as param values as:
<profile>
<id>skipunittest</id>
<properties>
<maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
</properties>
<activation>
<property>
<name>test</name>
</property>
</activation>
</profile>
then call
mvn help:active-profiles -Dtest
or
mvn install -Dtest
etc.. Note that each property is a separate param as
mvn help:active-profiles -Dtest -DtoProduction -Dmyapp
where test, toProduction, myapp are different profiles
I want to enable.
I couldn't get -P to use the correct profiles. Env I
think it worked but it is more to type. :)

good luck,
