Try renaming the profile to some_condition, and then using
-Dsome_condition=true. I've never tried to use a property named a-b-c
and I'm not entirely sure how different operating systems pass that to
Java and how it is interpreted prior to handing it to Maven (eg -D, -h
etc). So I would just avoid -'s in profile names, personally.
