Re: configuration plugin

> Profiles appear to be magic but it is black magic.
Nice wording ;-)
I already use profiles to manage our hudson build of the maven plugin.
And yes: You are able to brake your projects if you do not know what
to do. My lvl85 gnome mage is able to create a
greater-flux-compensation-knife that will fix each maven profile.

Your answer is: The most people mess up with profiles. ok, understood.

Yes and no. Developers always need to apply some local configuration
to be able to develop (test it).
You cannot always rely on a production test server to put your project
and test against.

And not all projects are that big that there is a system administrator
or hudson/jenkins. In smaller projects the developer is the system
administrator and he has only one computer for multiple roles.

The assemblies are targeted for building packages that are used
outside maven? Or did I understand it wrong?
