Enable Maven profile?

[David J. Biesack]

How does one enable a specific Maven2 profile from Jenkins (1.405)?
The main Jenkins config for Maven projects lets me set MAVEN_OPTS
but those are JVM options, not mvn command line arguments.
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Building+a+maven2+project
does not mention it

I want the equivalent of

-Pcontinuous-integration-build

to enable the Maven profile continuous-integration-build

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Cobertura+Plugin uses
the following, stating that Jenkins sets BUILD_NUMBER, but
I don't know if I can/should rely on that.
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>continuous-integration-build</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>BUILD_NUMBER</name>
</property>
</activation>

I suppose I could set the profile in the settings.xml
associated with the MAVEN_HOME ... is that the best way?

thanks

You can do that in your project configuration Build / Root POM / Goals
and options : package xxxxx -Pcontinuous-integration-build

Can't you simply add it to the Maven goals in the Jenkins job configuration?

e.g. clean verify -Pcontinuous-integration-build

That's what I do. Or do you mean something else?

Thanks, I'll use that.

Luckily, I generate each job's config.xml from a script/template
(otherwise I'd have to edit a lot of configs manually...)
