Description

Currently it is not clear from the POM reference (https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Activation), that the elements exists and missing below file are mutually exclusive, because only exists is considered if it is there (see also https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/profile/activation/FileProfileActivator.java#L91). Please make it clearer in the POM reference that not both of them should be used at the same time and also throw an exception during build time if that is the case (in the effective POM).
