Absolutely feasible! Maven's profile system is built to handle exactly this kind of module-specific configuration variation. Let's walk through the solution step by step:

1. Is this requirement feasible? #

Yes, 100%. Maven allows you to define module-exclusive profiles, override inherited profiles from the parent, and activate multiple profiles at once via the command line. This lets you keep the oracle profile for most modules while using custom X/Y profiles solely for Module 3.

2. Implementation Details #

Step 1: Parent POM Configuration

Keep your existing oracle profile in the parent POM unchanged. This profile will be inherited by all child modules by default, which is exactly what we need for Module 1 and Module 2.

Example parent POM snippet:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>oracle</id>
        <!-- Your existing configuration for Module 1/2: resource filtering, dependencies, etc. -->
        <build>
            <resources>
                <resource>
                    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                    <filtering>true</filtering>
                    <!-- Oracle-specific filter rules go here -->
                </resource>
            </resources>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Step 2: Module 3 POM Configuration

In Module 3's POM, we need to do two key things:

• Define your custom X and Y profiles with their own resource filtering logic.
• Override the inherited oracle profile with an empty definition (so it has no effect when activated for Module 3).

Example Module 3 POM snippet:

<profiles>
    <!-- Override parent's oracle profile to be empty for Module 3 -->
    <profile>
        <id>oracle</id>
        <!-- No configuration here - ensures the oracle profile doesn't affect Module 3 -->
    </profile>

    <!-- Custom profile X for Module 3's resource filtering -->
    <profile>
        <id>X</id>
        <build>
            <resources>
                <resource>
                    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                    <filtering>true</filtering>
                    <filters>
                        <filter>src/main/filters/x-profile-filters.properties</filter>
                    </filters>
                </resource>
            </resources>
        </build>
    </profile>

    <!-- Custom profile Y for Module 3's resource filtering -->
    <profile>
        <id>Y</id>
        <build>
            <resources>
                <resource>
                    <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                    <filtering>true</filtering>
                    <filters>
                        <filter>src/main/filters/y-profile-filters.properties</filter>
                    </filters>
                </resource>
            </resources>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Step 3: Maven Command Execution

To build with oracle profile for Module 1/2 and Profile X for Module 3:

mvn clean install -Poracle,X

To build with oracle profile for Module 1/2 and Profile Y for Module 3:

mvn clean install -Poracle,Y

How It Works #

• For Module 1 and Module 2: The inherited oracle profile activates and applies your original configuration, while profiles X/Y don't exist in these modules so they have no impact.
• For Module 3: The overridden empty oracle profile does nothing, while the activated X or Y profile applies its own resource filtering rules.
