I have a sense that you are almost there. I would rather that you create all of your profiles in the pom.xml file. Use a corresponding key in your settings.xml file for password data. I believe what you are experiencing is that all the profiles are active because there is no tie to the pom.xml file. http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/32386/0/page/2 "Environmental Portability with Profiles As a general rule, try to make one profile per environment. Unless you are building on more than five or so environment types, I suggest putting the profile in the POM. Then you may activate the desired profile via the -P argument on the command line. You can test which profiles are currently active with the "help" plugin, like this: mvn help:active-profiles It sounds like you are trying to do all this in your settings.xml file.
