How to define 2 sets of profiles in pom.xml?

I need to have a 2-dimensions profiles organisation in my pom.xml.

The project is about a fatclient app that comes in different flavours. Each flavour comes a slightly different set of dependencies, internalization files, splash screen, ... This is one dimension of the profiles.

I also build the app for different os: windows, linux, mac. This is the 2nd dimension of the profiles. And some stuff must change depending on the target (e.g. for windows, I build a ZIP file, while for linux and mac, I build a TAR.GZ file)

My approach for resolving this is by using the pom.xml profiles for the flavours, and to use the .m2/settings.xml profiles for the os target. It works, but it isn't nice. Because the .m2/settings.xml should be limited to config specific to the user and not contain "build logic".

I'd like to "transfer" the "build logic" that I put .m2/settings.xml into the pom.xml. But I don't want to have 1 Profile level having (#Flavours x #Os) profiles (e.g. flavour1-os1, flavour1-os2, ...)

Is this achievable ? Is there a way to implement this 2 levels of profiles in the pom.xml ?

Declare one profile for each flavour:

    <profile>
      <id>flav1</id>
      ...
    </profile>
    <profile>
      <id>flav2</id>
      ...
    </profile>
    <profile>
      <id>flav3</id>
      ...
    </profile>

and one for each OS:

    <profile>
      <id>win</id>
      ...
    </profile>
    <profile>
      <id>linux</id>
      ...
    </profile>
    <profile>
      <id>mac</id>
      ...
    </profile>

Activate them individually by e.g:

mvn -P flav1, linux ...
