Is it possible to use conditions in pom.xml - maven

Question

I've a maven web project and I'm using profiles in pom.xml for creating .war files for different environments. See the sample below snippet from my pom.xml
...
<profiles>
<!-- DEVELOPMENT PROFILE -->
<profile>
<id>development</id>
...
<build>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.code.echo-maven-plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>echo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
...
<configuration>
<message>Message 1</message>
</configuration>
...
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<webXml>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web-development.xml</webXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
</build>
</profile>
<!-- PRODUCTION PROFILE -->
<profile>
<id>production</id>
...
<build>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.code.echo-maven-plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>echo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
...
<configuration>
<message>Message 2</message>
</configuration>
...
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<webXml>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web-production.xml</webXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
However, this makes my pom.xml pretty large - I've 5 different profiles. All I wanted to do is to display a custom message and use a custom web.xml file based on the profile.
Is there a way I could add conditions in the pom.xml so that I can simplify it some like below:
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>development</id>
...
</profile>
<profile>
<id>production</id>
...
</profile>
<profiles>
<build>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.code.echo-maven-plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>echo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<inherited>false</inherited>
<configuration>
<IF CONDITION TO CHECK IF development PROFILE>
<message>Message 1</message>
</IF CONDITION>
<ELSE CASE>
<message>Message 2</message>
<ELSE CASE>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>echo</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<IF CONDITION TO CHECK IF development PROFILE>
<webXml>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web-development.xml</webXml>
</IF CONDITION>
<ELSE CASE>
<webXml>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web-production.xml</webXml>
<ELSE CASE>
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
</build>

No.
But you could experiment with defining properties in profiles, which might allow you to write things more concisely.
