Good day to you, Steffan,
Yes, that would do just fine. You can have something like
...
<profile>
<id>add-examples-that-compile-only-if-eclipse-is-installed</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>eclipse.dir</name>
</property>
</activation>
<modules>
<module>example-that-compiles-if-eclipse-is-installed</module>
</modules>
</profile>
...
This profile will add the module
"example-that-compiles-if-eclipse-is-installed" if eclipse.dir is set.
Or if you know exactly where your eclipse executable should be placed, you
can do
...
<profile>
<id>add-examples-that-compile-only-if-eclipse-is-installed</id>
<activation>
<file>
<exists>C:\Location\Of\Eclipse\Executable\eclipse.exe</exists>
</file>
</activation>
<modules>
<module>example-that-compiles-if-eclipse-is-installed</module>
</modules>
</profile>
...
Note: properties can not be used in file activation ( if you wish properties
to be used, kindly file a jira issue ). See [1] for more details.
Cheers,
Franz
