But try it with a profiles.xml file; for example, if I create a project with the app-fuse archetype:
mvn \ archetype:create \ -DarchetypeGroupId=org.appfuse.archetypes \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=appfuse-modular-spring \ -DremoteRepositories=http://static.appfuse.org/releases \ -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \ -DartifactId=myproject Then go into myproject and create the following profiles.xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <profilesXml xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/xsd/profiles-1.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/xsd/profiles-1.0.0.xsd";> <profiles> <profile> <id>profile1</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> </activation> </profile> </profiles> </profilesXml> Then notice that profile1 is only active for the parent; not the children. $ mvn help:active-profiles -Pprofile1 [INFO] Scanning for projects...

It just sound so unbelivable to me! So I just wanted to hear it from you guys too. Thanks in Advance. Roman
