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

• Add a directory ".mvn" to your project root.
• Add a file ".mvn/jvm.config"
• Insert "-Drun.it=false" into jvm.config.

Now it should work. You can overwrite the "run.it" property in your pom.xml and it will be picked up for profile activation.

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
