Re: [mevenide-user] problem with profile activation

"Active by default" means the profile is activated when no other profile is
activated. In netbeans The netbeans-public and netbeans-private profiles are
always dynamically added as activated from the IDE.
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=97808 shall be adressing this
in some future releases. I haven't done a full-scale review but the profiles
are only required at a few places
1. to add an additional remote repository (file:// based one) that points to
the location with netbeans specific plugins that are used for
deployment/running jars etc. The idea behind this is to allow people who
can't access the central repo to use these plugins.
2. have the build of jar trigger the assembly plugin processing once user
sets the main class and everything, as the "Run project" action depends on
it.
3. anything that gets written in profiles.xml needs to be included in a
profile that is to be activated.

to rectify the automatic profile activation, I'll need to find a solution to
these points.

re. descriptor vs. descriptors: I know about it, just don't feel like
forcing it on people. when updating the profile, I don't set the version
currently which means the latest is used, however if someone explicitly sets
it to a certain version I don't want to break it in case it's a version not
supporting descriptors element. In any case probably worth filing as issue,
so that it's not forgotten and gets ultimately replaced by the
non-deprecated value.
