Description

I was able to google how to activate profile when property is NOT PRESENT.
However, I was unable to find any example on how to activate profile when property is NOT EQUAL to some value.
It would be great, if both possibilities were documented here: https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Activation.

Here's my use case:
<profile>
<id>sign</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>skipSign</name>
<value>!true</value>
</property>
</activation>
...
</profile>

It seems, It works since maven 3.0 or so (I checked commit history).
Documentation can make that feature to look more "stable".
Thanks!
