Description

Some projects require two or more sets of dependencies with each set contained in a profile. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to consume the correct dependency set. It would be useful to have an option to select a profile for a certain dependency.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.mycompany</groupId>
  <artifactId>projectA</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <profile>jdk1.4</profile>
</dependency>
