Here's how it looks right now. 
!profile-selection2.jpg!

I still need to find an icon, to put in the toolbar (I suck at UI), But, it works :-) 
Dialog is bound to Ctrl+Shift+P, Profiles can be (de)selected and (de)activated.

I haven't implemented cascading profile selection yet. Problem is profiles declared in a pom are not inherited in its submodules. Only settings-defined profiles could be propagated. But then I'd need to come up with a proper UI for sub modules.

> Primary usecase for us: Arquillian users have to go through project preferences to toggle profiles to enable/disable arquillian classpath containers.
> Challenges:
>  When applying to an aggregator pom, should ask user if he wish to add/remove the same profiles on aggregated modules
>  
> UI suggestions:
>  run/debug style combobox's with dropdown to easy enable/disable often used profiles
>  IAM style view for enable/disabling
