wildfly-maven-plugin not deploying when multiple profiles selected

Question

I am working on a POM.xml to deploy WAR files to a Wildfly server depending on what apps that environment has installed. The project I work with has 3 different applications, and an environment could have between 1 and 3 of these apps installed.

So, I've made profiles for each of the apps -- If app A is installed, run the app A profile to deploy the A app to the server. If B is installed, run the app B profile, etc.

The problem is that when I run my Maven build with more than one app, (eg app A and app B), it only deploys one of them. If I run separate Maven builds on each profile individually, it deploys fine. I think my problem is with the maven-wildfly-plugin itself, as when running with multiple profiles, they show as active when using the Maven help:active-profiles option:

[INFO] 
Active Profiles for Project 'com.foo.bar:auto-deploy:pom:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT': 

The following profiles are active:

 - wildfly-deploy-a (source: com.foo.bar:auto-deploy:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT)
 - wildfly-deploy-b (source: com.foo.bar:auto-deploy:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT)

The output of the build itself is as follows:

[INFO]

In this case, both the deploy-a and deploy-b profiles appear to run, but only the app for deploy-b is successfully deployed. My POM.xml is below:

                        ...
        </profile>  
    </profiles>
</project>

And I am executing it using mvn deploy -Pwildfly-deploy-a,wildfly-deploy-b . The order in which I pass the profiles to Maven does not seem to matter -- it always deploys the app defined in the last profile in the POM (so app b). I have also tried mvn deploy -Pwildfly-deploy-a -Pwildfly-deploy-b and that does not work either.

Am I violating some Maven best practices or something here? Everything I've researched today indicates that this should work, which is why I have an inkling that the plugin is causing this behavior.

EDIT -- I've also tried mixing it up by making one of the profiles use the deploy goal and the other use the deploy-artifact goal but I get the same behavior. Could this be some network or threading issue?

EDIT 2 -- Other weird behavior: when both profiles use the deploy goal as opposed to deploy-artifact , neither of the apps gets deployed...when run individually using deploy they will deploy fine.

Answer 1

Your plugin configuration cannot be merged; the second will always override the first.

The trick is to move the configuration into the execution section:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>wildfly-deploy-a</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>deploy-a</id>
                            <phase>deploy</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>deploy-artifact</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <groupId>com.foo.bar</groupId>
                                <artifactId>app-a</artifactId>
                                <skip>false</skip>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    ...
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>wildfly-deploy-b</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>deploy-b</id>
                            <phase>deploy</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>deploy-artifact</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <groupId>com.foo.bar</groupId>
                                <artifactId>app-b</artifactId>
                                <skip>false</skip>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    ...
    </profile>  
</profiles>

Now each execution has it's own configuration.
