[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13014?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12733089#comment-12733089 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-13014:
------------------------------------

Why not just replace 

{code}
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
</activation>
{code}

in the two profiles we care about with a new property and a check of that property in each default-enabled profile?

{code}
<defaults>true</defaults>
and
        <property>
          <name>defaults</name>
          <value>true</value>
        </property>
{code}

in the two profiles we want on by default: jbosstools-staging-aggregate, unified.target.

Then you could run like this:

{code}
mvn clean install # run with defaults
or
mvn clean install -Ddefaults=false -Pother,profiles # run with non-defaults
or
mvn clean install -Pother,profiles # run with defaults + others
{code}

> Since activeByDefault does automatically get disabled when another profile is enabled (such as osx profile), it's not doing what we want.
> Let's try moving to a property-based approach to select profiles that are exclusive, and the default value of the property will enable the current activeByDefault profile.
