Re: [m2e-users] Configuring the web.xml file with m2e-wtp
In previous threads, I read about this sort of configuration to activate profiles only when maven is run from m2e, but for some misterious reason I had put in mind that it would need to be done in settings.xml, then I discarded this possibility.

As my real intention is exactly to activate some only when running inside m2e, it´s way better to activate them based on the presence of "m2e.version" property instead of activating them by default (which would also work from inside eclipse, but could cause problems running through CLI).

Thanks for reminding, Fred.

Now, that's a neat trick!

Thanks,

You can use the m2e activated profile like :

<profile>
      <id>m2e</id>
      <activation>
        <property>
          <name>m2e.version</name>
        </property>
      </activation>
      ...
</profile>
m2e automatically enables this profile by setting the m2e.version property.

HIH. Regards,

To avoid the need to trust developers follow such documentation, I decided to mark profiles I want to be automatically activated from Eclipse as activeByDefault direct in the pom.xml.

Maybe it´s not the best solution, but it´s the only one I found to work "automatically" AND without the need to make any extra configuration on each developers environment (such as Eclipse workspace or Maven local configuration in settings.xml)

As pom.xml is always committed to the version control repository, if I need to update information, I just need to commit updated pom.xml and all developers will download it. Also if a new developer joins the team, the configuration will already be set in pom.xml and all he needs to do is download source from the repository.

I believe it may work for you and if you or others have a better idea please share with us =D

That certainly did the trick; Many thanks.

However, it does lead to one more question; is there a way to
automatically activate a profile when m2e imports a pom.xml in to
Eclipse? That way I don't have to remember to activate the right one,
or ensure that my colleagues read the documentation (hah!) when they
import it.

Thanks again,

Greg
