How to specify active profiles in Maven3

Question

Our application consists of various active profiles (for example, A1, A2, A3, A5 ...), which were separately defined in the profiles.xml file. Maven 3 expects all profile information to be saved as part of the pom.xml file itself.

How to specify a list of active profiles in the pom.xml file so that I can not specify them on the command line (for example, mvn -PA1, A2, A3, A5)

Answer 1

If so:

<profiles> <profile> <id>profile-1</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> ... </profile> </profiles> 

From here .

Answer 2

In addition to @ javamonkey79's answer, you can use settings.xml. There are parts of profiles and activations. Take a look at the following example:

  <profiles> <profile> <id>hudson-simulate</id> <properties> <gituser>username</gituser> <gitpassword>secret</gitpassword> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>other-profile</id> <properties> <proerty1>username</property1> </properties> </profile> </profiles> <activeProfiles> <activeProfile>hudson-simulate</activeProfile> <activeProfile>other-profile</activeProfile> </activeProfiles>
