Maven Profiles: Purpose & Setup

Maven’s profile attribute can be used to define configuration information in different environments such as development, testing, and production. By configuring the profile attribute, you can achieve different operations like building, packaging, and deploying in different environments. Different profiles can be defined in the pom.xml file using tags, and then the desired profile can be activated in the command line using the -D parameter. This makes it convenient to build and deploy projects in different environments.
