Are you using maven 2.0.9?
Ok, I've got it working!
It seems that the profile must be set as an active profile in order to work (which is logical off course ...)
Perhaps something to add to the Wiki?
Btw, this is my settings.xml:
<settings> <profiles> <profile> <id>jboss</id> <repositories> <repository> <id>jboss-snapshots</id> <url>http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2</url> </repository> </repositories> </profile> </profiles> <activeProfiles> <activeProfile>jboss</activeProfile> </activeProfiles> </settings>
