Configure active profile in SpringBoot via Maven

Question

I\'m trying to set an active profile in Spring Boot application using Maven 3.
In my pom.xml I set default active profile and property spring.pr

In development, activating a Spring Boot profile when a specific Maven profile is activate is straight. You should use the profiles property of the spring-boot-maven-plugin in the Maven profile such as :

    <...>
    
        
            development
            
                true
            
            
                
                    
                        org.springframework.boot
                        spring-boot-maven-plugin
                        
                            
                                development
                            
                        
                    
                
            
        
    
    

You can run the following command to use both the Spring Boot and the Maven development profile :

mvn spring-boot:run -Pdevelopment

---

If you want to be able to map any Spring Boot profiles to a Maven profile with the same profile name, you could define a single Maven profile and enabling that as the presence of a Maven property is detected. This property would be the single thing that you need to specify as you run the mvn command.
The profile would look like :

    
        spring-profile-active
        
            
                my.active.spring.profiles
            
        
        
            
                
                    org.springframework.boot
                    spring-boot-maven-plugin
                    
                        
                            ${my.active.spring.profiles}
                        
                    
                
            
        
    

And you can run the following command to use both the Spring Boot and the Maven development profile :

mvn spring-boot:run -Dmy.active.spring.profiles=development

or :

mvn spring-boot:run -Dmy.active.spring.profiles=integration

or :

 mvn spring-boot:run -Dmy.active.spring.profiles=production

And so for...

This kind of configuration makes sense as in the generic Maven profile you rely on the my.active.spring.profiles property that is passed to perform some tasks or value some things.
For example I use this way to configure a generic Maven profile that packages the application and build a docker image specific to the environment selected.
