Description

Activating a profile like below doesn't get activated unless the property is set on the CLI. I need to have the property defined in the settings.xml so it's always set.
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>prod</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>deploy-ct</name>
</property>
</activation>

Further, I noticed that if I set it so that the activation is like:
<activation>
<property>
<name>deploy-ct</name><value>true</value>
</property>
</activation>

The profile is triggered just by setting the cli like "mvn -Ddeploy-ct" It is not active if I use "-Ddeploy-ct=false" but the settings descriptor says that the existence of the property is only used if value is not set.
