That is not correct,
if I have a project structure like this:
A
| pom.xml
--- B
| pom.xml
And I define the profile "profile1" in A/pom.xml when running :
B myuser$ mvn help:active-profiles -Pprofile1
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'help'.

Active Profiles for Project 'com.mycompany:b:jar:0.9.0-SNAPSHOT':
The following profiles are active:
- profile1 (source: pom)
For more info [1] and [2] can also help.
