Maven profiles base on OS type

Option 1. Use profile with os.family.

<profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>windows_profile</id>
      <activation>
        <os>
          <family>Windows</family>
        </os>
      </activation>
      <properties>
        <toolsjar>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</toolsjar>
      </properties>
    </profile>
    <profile>
      <id>osx_profile</id>
      <activation>
        <os>
          <family>mac</family>
        </os>
      </activation>
      <properties>
        <toolsjar>${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar</toolsjar>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>

- Activating a profile by default: add the 'activateByDefault' element into the 'activation' element.

<activation>
    <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
    ...
</activation>

Option 2. Use -P option.

<profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>win</id>
      <properties>
        <toolsjar>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</toolsjar>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
