Hi
 
On the 'introduction-to-profiles' page it is stated that ' one of the goals in 
maven 2 is to consolidate all the information needed to run a build into a 
single file, or file hierarchy which is the POM". To my surprise however, it is 
rather difficult to configure a specific JDK (i.e. JAVA_HOME) for a project.
 
My situation is as follows. I have multiple projects using version 1.4, 1.5 and 
1.6 JDKs. I've already configured the compiler plugin to use the right source 
and target options. However, what I would like to do is to point the compiler 
to a specific JAVA_HOME environment from the settings.xml.
I suppose this should be possible by using profiles, however activating the 
correct profile is a problem for me.
 
My final option is to force every developer to first set the correct JAVA_HOME 
as a system environment. Which I would have to configure on the buildserver as 
well (somehow). This however is error prone. Therefore, I hope that some of you 
have a much more flexible sollution.
 
thx. Regards
