how to set a property value according to profile

Question

I'm new to maven and i got this issue when sometimes when i run maven i want to have a property with 1 value and sometimes the other. I tried to do the following but still something is missing:

 <profiles>
<profile>
    <id>production</id>
    <activation>
        <property>
            <name>com.sencha.cmd.dir</name>
            <value>
                ${env.SENCHA_PATH}\senchaCmd-${com.sencha.cmd.version}\Sencha\Cmd\${com.sencha.cmd.version}
            </value>
        </property>
    </activation>
</profile>
</profiles>

<properties>
 <com.sencha.cmd.dir> ${env.SENCHA_PATH}\senchaCmd- ${com.sencha.cmd.version}\Sencha\Cmd\${com.sencha.cmd.version}</com.sencha.cmd.dir>

my question is how to replace the value of the property com.sencha.cmd.dir according to the availability of the profile?

Hope this is clear enough

Answer 1

It's really simple

<profiles>
 <profile>
   <id>profile 1</id>
   <activation>
     ...
   </activation>
   <properties>
     <my.property> xxx </my.property>
   </properties>
 </profile>
 <profile>
   <id>profile 2</id>
   <activation>
     ...
   </activation>
   <properties>
     <my.property> yyy </my.property>
   </properties>
 </profile>
</profiles>

and then you can use your my.properties outside, even in an other one properties

<properties>
 <my.next.property> abc ${my.property} def </my.next.property>
</properties>
