Description

Current profile activation capabilities are insufficient.
Makes using large projects harder, especially with complex testsuites.

Having a possibility to have profiles activated by an expression would help a lot.

<activation>
<expression>property1 == "true" || (property2 && property3)</expression>
</activation>
