Description

I am using the dependency plugin inside a swf type project that builds using Maven. Ant is currently being used to copy the target files to the destination directories, but my hope is to use the dependency plugin so that everything is included inside the POM.
Here's my rough POM structure:

<!-- Below build properties are listed outside of 'profile' since they are not supported inside a 'profile' tag.
<build>
<sourceDirectory>dir</sourceDirectory>
<finalName>${project.name}</finalName>
</build>

<profiles>
<profile>
<id>profile1</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
.
<goal>copy</goal>
.
<configuration> ... </configuration>
<outputDirectory>DIR1</outputDirectory>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>

<profile>
<id>profile2</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
.
<goal>copy</goal>
.
<configuration> ... </configuration>
<outputDirectory>DIR2</outputDirectory>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>

</profiles>

What I am seeing:

When I run: 'mvn -U clean install -P profile1', the execution for profile1 proceeds and the files are copied to DIR1 as expected.

When I run: 'mvn -U clean install -P profile2', the execution for profile1 and profile2 both happen and the file meant to go into DIR2 is also copied into DIR1. This is undesirable.

Please let me know if any further details may be helpful here. Thanks for your time.
