How to select Spring boot profile from maven?

1. Define following profiles in pom.xml

<profiles>
   <profile>
        <id>dev</id>
        <properties>
            <activatedProperties>dev</activatedProperties>
        </properties>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>test</id>
        <properties>
            <activatedProperties>test</activatedProperties>
        </properties>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>prod</id>
        <properties>
            <activatedProperties>prod</activatedProperties>
        </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>

2. Using following command will activate dev profile, remember activatedProperties value should match in the following command after -D like -Ddev, -Dtest or -Dprod

$ mvn clean package -Ddev
$ mvn test -Dtest

3. Create application.properties or application.yml file with the following content

spring:
   profiles:
      active: @activatedProperties@

4. Create application-dev.yml, application-test.yml and application-prod.yml
5. When you run the build, the Maven Resources Plugin will replace the activatedProperties placeholder in application.properties with the property from the currently active Maven profile, which will select spring boot profile

Step 3:
im yml file we cannot write like that should it be:

spring:
profiles:
active: @activatedProperties@

still it does not work

Correct, it has be of format

spring:
   profiles:
      active: @activatedProperties@

yes sorry, the tab spaces didnt show up.. but i did with tab spaces.
turns out we need to single quote the @activatedProperties@ in case of using application.yml
this worked for me:

spring:
   profiles:
      active: '@activatedProperties@'
