Maven Profile Display Extension

Maven core extension that lists every profile available to the build, and whether it is active, once per build and for the top-level project only.

It replaces a separate mvn -N help:all-profiles invocation, which costs a full Maven startup and, without -N, repeats the listing for every module of a multi-module project.

Output

[INFO] Listing Profiles for Project: com.flowlogix.plugins:container-deploy-plugin-root:pom:x-SNAPSHOT
[INFO]   Profile Id: coverage (Active: false, Source: pom)
[INFO]   Profile Id: skinny-war (Active: true, Source: pom)
[INFO]   Profile Id: server-local (Active: true, Source: settings.xml)

Profiles are gathered from the top-level pom and all of its parents, then from settings.xml. A profile id declared in more than one place is reported once, from the nearest pom.

Usage

As a core extension in .mvn/extensions.xml

Note: substitute LATEST with the actual latest version number

<extensions xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.1.0">
    <extension>
        <groupId>com.flowlogix.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>profile-display-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>LATEST</version>
    </extension>
</extensions>

As a build extension in pom.xml

This form is inherited by child projects, so it can be declared once in a parent pom.

<build>
    <extensions>
        <extension>
            <groupId>com.flowlogix.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>profile-display-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>LATEST</version>
        </extension>
    </extensions>
</build>

Ad-hoc, without changing the project

mvn -Dmaven.ext.class.path=/path/to/profile-display-plugin.jar -Dprofile.display validate
