According to the documentation at http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/profiles-sect-activation.html a profile is activated when all activation conditions are met.

Ticket: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4565

In order to activate extension, you cannot include it into <build><extensions> element, because profile activation is done before it would be activated. So you need to copy following files into $MAVEN_HOME/lib/ext:

• and-profile-activator-extension.jar (available in target directory)

Now you can write the following in your pom.xml:

<profile>
    <id>stage-server-integration-test</id>    
    <activation>
        <property>
            <name>stage</name>
            <value>integration-test</value>
        </property>
		<!-- and linking -->
		<file>
			<exists>${basedir}/src/test/server/server.properties</exists>
		<file>
    </activation>
</profile>
