Maven profiles with variable for properties - maven

Question

I am studying MAVEN profiles and i have a question about seting properties with variables. At the moment, i am using the following configuration :
<profile>
<id>Action type D restriction</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>actionType</name>
<value>D</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<restriction.actionType>D</restriction.actionType>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>Action type W restriction</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>actionType</name>
<value>W</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<restriction.actionType>W</restriction.actionType>
</properties>
</profile>
My question is this ; is it possible to somehow use one profile with a variable to do the same job, something along the lines of :
<profile>
<id>Action type restriction</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>actionType</name>
<value>[D,W]</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<restriction.actionType>${project.profiles.profile.activation.value}</restriction.actionType>
</properties>
</profile>
Or something along those lines.

Answer 1

Maybe you want something like this
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>Action type restriction</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>actionType</name>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<restriction.actionType>${actionType}</restriction.actionType>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>

Thank you Tunaki. That did the trick. Now my setup is this :
<project>
...
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<ActionType/>
</properties>
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>Action-type profile</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>actionType</name>
<value>[D,W]</value>
</property>
</activation>
</profile>
</profiles>
...
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>properties.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>Lazaruss-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<actionType>${actionType}</actionType>
</configuration>
...
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
And running it with command :
mvn groupId:artefactId:version:goal -DactionType=W
It sets the variable in my class to W now :)
PS : notice that the variable in my class is also named 'actionType'
