I don't know of a way to directly activate a profile through q4e, but
you can do it through properties. Add a property on the Execute Goal
action.
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
This will activate the profile when the system property "debug" is
specified with any value:
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<property>
<name>debug</name>
</property>
</activation>
...
</profile>
</profiles>
This example will trigger the profile when the system property
"environment" is specified with the value "test":
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<property>
<name>environment</name>
<value>test</value>
</property>
</activation>
...
</profile>
</profiles>
