consider the in any situation where you want to change things based on flags
its gets complicated.
why not just have a separate artifact that is very simple for each scenario...
there might be a little more setup but it means for a maven aware developer
they know that you have 5 projects therefore 5 artifacts and if you say
install or package on them you can get five results...
now consider your profile scenario... how many profiles... how many
combinations... in order to understand any one of your projects a deveoper
would need to read and understand all the profiles...
