Is there a way to activate a Maven profile only if a project is (or is not) being deployed?
nexus staging plugin deploys all modules that are part of a reactor build so I want to skip certain modules (unit tests, benchmarks, etc) if the project is being deployed (to deploying them).
I know I can invoke mvn -Ddeploy deploy and activate profiles based on the deploy property but I'm hoping there is a way to avoid mentioning deploy twice.
AFAIK, you cannot do that.
There is list of possible profile activations (https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html), stating:
A profile can be triggered/activated in several ways:
- Explicitly
- Through Maven settings
- Based on environment variables
- OS settings
- Present or missing files
My guess is that profiles are evaluated before the phases/goals are even read by Maven. I tried to figure it out from https://stackoverflow.com/a/14727072/927493, but it does not say it explicitly.
It may help, though, to set <skip>true</skip> for the deploy plugin in the respective modules (the property maven.deploy.skip could also be used).
