How to keep Maven profiles which are activeByDefault active even if another profile gets activated?

by

One trick is to avoid activeByDefault, and instead activate the profile by the absence of a property, eg:

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>firstProfile</id>
    <activation>
      <property>
        <name>!skipFirstProfile</name>
      </property>
    </activation>
    ...
  </profile>
</profiles>

You should then be able to deactivate the profile with -DskipFirstProfile
or with -P !firstProfile, but otherwise the profile will be active.
