Maven - Can I reference profile id in profile definition?

Question

I\'ve set profiles in a pom.xml, like shown as follows:

profileId1
             


        

Answer 1

As an alternative to ${project.activeProfiles[0].id} (which doesn't seem to work on older versions of maven), just define a property:

    
        dev
        
            dev
        
    

Then use ${profile-id}.

Note: just make sure one is always active by default
