Using OS activation rather than command line profile specification?

[Kevin Clarke]

Hi,

I wonder whether you've considered using OS activation as the default rather than requiring that someone pass in the -P<profile> command?

Instead of the current profile definitions in the pom, you'd have:

<profile>

<id>linux</id>

<activation>

<os>

<name>Linux</name>

</os>

</activation>

<properties>

<cmake.classifier>linux</cmake.classifier>

</properties>

</profile>

You could still override it on the command line with: -Pwindows,-linux if you were on Linux but had a cross-compiling setup for building Windows binaries.

Thanks,

Kevin

    It's a nice feature but (like everything else in Maven) poorly documented. There is no mention in the official documentation of suppressing profiles by prefixing them with a minus. I hadn't heard of such a thing until you just mentioned it.

I agree.  I wrote a ctest mojo and then started writing tests for it.  Learning how to write integration tests for a Maven plugin has been a journey through bad/lacking documentation and broken toolkits.  Gah.  Anyway, will probably submit a patch for your consideration but just wanted to see how you felt about the OS activation stuff to know whether to include it with the rest or not.

Thanks,

Kevin

    I'm open to this change so long as we document how to override it somewhere (probably both in the Wiki and POM file). Did you actually try -P-linux to make sure it works?

Yes, confirmed with:

mvn -Pwindows,-linux help:active-profiles

With the OS activation set (and working without the -linux) on my linux machine, obviously.
