[MNG-5909] Activating a profile based on the existence of multiple files is not possible

[jira-importer]

Konrad Windszus opened MNG-5909 and commented

Currently each type of activation (os, jdk, file, property) can only be used once for activating a single profile.
Therefore it is not possible to activate a profile in case two different files are existing, although since Maven 3.2.2 (MNG-4565) it is possible to combine multiple activations of different types.
Multiple file or property should therefore be supported to allow to express something like:
Enable profileA in case both fileA and fileB do exists

For jdk and os this is less relevant because all conditions are combined with AND.

I don't have any strong opinion about this, but I understand that people need more flexibility. Robert Scholte, Hervé Boutemy, is this something we'd like to support in 4?

I don't think we should do anything about this in Maven 4. The list of wishes regarding profile activation is exploding so I think we need to take the time to review new opportunities in Maven 5.
IIRC some people already extended profile activation with Maven Extensions, e.g. https://github.com/random-maven/profile-activator-extension, so that is always a possible way to support it.
