How to activate profile by means of maven property?

Question

I\'m trying to activate a maven profile using a property defined inside pom.xml:

  [...]
  
             


        

Answer 1

In recent maven versions (3.5+?) you can create a .mvn folder at the root of your project and a file .mvn/maven.config. In this file you can then activate profiles or set properties as you would do on the command line.

activate a profile through a property:

-Dactivate.myprofile=true

activate a profile directly

-Pmyprofile

Hopefully maven5 will get support for Mixins, which will probably make build settings more reusable.
