Can you import a profile into a maven pom.xml?

A RESTful web service project that I'm working on needs to be deployed to a very unique environment (that requires a lot of custom configuration) in addition to the typical deployment environment and the integration test environment.

I have created a build profile for the unique environment, but the definition is REALLY long, full of Ant Tasks, etc. and I'd like to put it in its own file and import it into the pom.xml just to keep things clean.

Is that possible?

The only option with the latest version of Maven at the moment (3.0.5) is to put your profile into a parent POM and inherit from the children.

One day when it is finished, POM Mixins would help but this feature is not yet finished.
