Can I make one maven profile activate another ?

Question

I have 2 maven2 profiles, selenium and jspc. Now for "selenium" id'd like to have an implicit activation of "jspc", so that I don't have to write mvn -Pselenium,jspc from the command line. Is this possible ?

Answer 1

You can't "chain" profile activations ( maven reference) but you can activate them both through the same property:

<activation>
  <property>
    <name>profile.selenium</name>
  </property>
</activation>

And the run mvn -Dprofile.selenium
