Description

It is currently not possible to have more than one -P on the same command line. Only the first specified profile is considered.

So if you do

mvn -Pmain -Ptest

only the main profile will be taken into account.

This may sound enough but it's not when your maven call is wrapped into a batch file. Let's say you have a batch doing the compilation of a given module:

a.bat
-------------------------------------
mvn install -Pmymodule %*
-------------------------------------

and you want to pass a special integration tests profile you would do:

a.bat -Pintegration-tests

But that won't work since you are not allowed to have two -P.

To merge them in DOS shell is quite a pain in the ***....
