title: Maven active profiles source external
body: <p>When I try to get the active profiles for my maven project I type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn help:active-profiles
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just as the documentation states (<a href="http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html" rel="nofollow">http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html</a>)
  But this is what I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Active Profiles for Project 'com.mycompany.app:my-app:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT': 
  
  The following profiles are active:
  
  - testProfile (source: external)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What does (source: external) mean ? Because I set the profile on the settings.xml file in the .m2 folder, so according to the documentation it should be:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(source: settings.xml)
  </code></pre>
