I thought I had a solution for this, but I'm left wondering now.
 
say I have a config file with a db connection string in it.  By default,
users should be able to build/connect/test/etc. So I created a filter
and am applying that filter to these config files.
 
But say a user wants to override this setting.  I created a profile in
my settings.xml file:
 
<settings>
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault/>
      </activation>
      <properties>
       <db.port>9999</db.port>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>
 
But this port setting is ignored (and when I comment it out from the
filter file, it simply isn't expanded).
 
What am I missing?
