Say I have a settings.xml file with three profiles, "dev" "qa" and "production". The active profile will set variables that determine which database to use and things like that.

I have activations so that I can use -Denv=qa or -Denv=dev to get the right profile. But I'd like to have one of the profiles to be the default _in case another one isn't selected_. That way I'm not always having to type -Denv=dev when I do a dev built.

So I put an <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> tag in the dev profile, and false on the others.

Now mvn help:active-profiles reports:

The following profiles are active:

 - env-dev (source: settings.xml)
 - env-dev (source: settings.xml)

(Twice?)

And if I do mvn -Denv=qa help:active-profiles I get:

The following profiles are active:

 - env-dev (source: settings.xml)
 - env-qa (source: settings.xml)
 - env-dev (source: settings.xml)

And my app is built with the dev profile.

In other words, I can't override the activeByDefault setting, no matter what I specify. I get the same thing if I say "mvn -P env-qa help:active-profiles".

What is it I'm missing here?
