When I was doing profiles for the first time, I noticed that anything I put in profiles.xml was active by default, and that my dev profile overrode my live release profile. This may be your problem. Try adding:
<activation> <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> </activation> to the dev profile that is currently overriding the other. In fact, this may or may not be regarded by the community as a "best practice," (I'm new at Maven too), but for a project where only one profile should ever be active at a time, I add those lines to all the profiles, and then just explicitly call the one I want at the command line with '-P profile_name'. Hope that helps. ~Dan Allen -----Original Message----- From: amit kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 1:58 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: build profiles Hi, I am trying to have different build profiles for my development environment and integration environment. All I want is to have different destination directories. My project has sub-modules and at the time of Integration when I run the maven build for the parent project, the destination directory that I want at the integration environment gets overridden by the sub module directory tag. I have tried something like this. ParentProject -pom.xml have a profile with destination directory say C:\final -Child1 destination directory in the build tag D:\dev -Child2 When I run mvn install -P profile1. The C:\final gets overridden by D:\dev. How shall I go about it? regards, Amit --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message may contain confidential, proprietary, or legally privileged information.
