Description

A settings.xml file using m2 profiles that facilitates testing multiple database platforms.

This file would save developers time testing different databases with jetspeed.

It could also be useful when running different databases for development, staging, and production.

The user can build by entering the desired database profile on the command line. Example 'mvn -P jetspeed-derby-embedded,tomcat' or 'mvn -P jetspeed-mysql,tomcat' to build using Apache DB Derby with the EmbeddedDriver or MySQL respectfully.

No more modifying the settings.xml manually when switching database platforms
