Some more maven questions

[Sony Antony]

1. Is it possible to have multiple profiles to be active at the same time ?
If true, what if two profiles - both active - define conflicting
informations ( say the same plugin is configured differently )

2. When is teh decision to activate a profiletaken . Before teh very first
phase is begun ? ( validation )
( IOW, does maven make teh decision to activate a profile, even before the
validation phase starts ? )

3. We have a module that contains a bunch of xsd schemas. We would like to
compile these only if something has changed.
I understand that I can put a <module> inside a profile, which is activated
only when something changes.

But I couldnt find any way to communicate to maven that the profile needs to
be activated <activation> only had a limited things to check. ( like file
exists, OS etc. )

Can somebody suggest a solution


4. Is it possible to execute a goal more than once during teh same phase ? (
without resorting to antrun )

Yes. The child would override the parents, and then it's either the
first wins or last wins, but I would have to test to be sure.

Before, when the model is being resolved.

Profiles aren't meant to work this way, they are more intended for
alternate configurations or different os builds etc.

Yes, just bind the plugin in two executions to the same phase. They
should run in the order defined.
