The following elements will be supported by profile specifications in various locations (noted inline):

  • build (pom.xml)
    • plugins
    • pluginManagement
  • dependencies (pom.xml)
  • dependencyManagement (pom.xml)
  • distributionManagement (pom.xml)
  • repositories (pom.xml, profiles.xml, settings.xml)
  • pluginRepositories (pom.xml, profiles.xml, settings.xml)
  • modules (pom.xml)
  • reports (pom.xml)
  • configuration (profiles.xml, settings.xml)

Note that build is included for the benefit of the plugin definitions, and that will bring along other elements such as finalName and outputDirectory. These can also be beneficial. One of the unexpected behaviours may be the ability to override sourceDirectory which will completely substitute a new tree. This is probably undesirable, and so may need to be forbidden by validation.UPDATE NOTE:

Info
titleUPDATE

build as specified inside of a profile is not a full implementation of the traditional build POM element. This build is really another class in the model - from which the POM build is derived - and only allows the plugins and pluginManagement subelements when defined here. This sidesteps any issues with secondary validation after the pom.xml is parsed in this case.

Inheritence and Transitivity
