Maven profile not activated, though property has correct value - maven

Question

I am trying to set-up conditional plugin execution via profiles. The idea is to have a compress/no compress HTML files:

It does not matter what value I assign to the DoCompress property, the corresponding profile are not executed. I check the value of the property with an echo. Why? What am I doing wrong?
Is it allowed to activate multiple profiles in a pom.xml using property values?
UPDATE
I have created an incident: I have created an incident: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5235.
If anyone has an operational example of maven profile activation by properties, I am interested. Moreover, does anyone know whether multiple profiles can be activated in the same run via properties? The documentation is not clear about it.

Answer 1

After opening an issue, it turns out this is not a bug, because properties in the section can only be system properties, not properties defined in the pom.xml itself.
