I get this WARNING when I try to build my maven project. I have searched google but with no luck. This is really annoying since I wanna release my project but it wont work with this warning (I think). The build is successful, but when I try to deploy the war file it doesen't work (no error message). The only warning I can find when I build the project is this:

[WARNING] The requested profile "projectname" could not be activated because it does not exist.

This happens when you have the following in your settings.xml (in your .m2 directory), and no profile with the id projectname.

<activeProfiles>
  <activeProfile>projectname</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
