How to choose root-context by maven profile

Question

I am using maven to package an ear-file. I have 2 profiles. 1 profile (aras) is for production. The other profile (aras_nb) is for the nightly build. I want to package 2 different ear-files. Both ear-files should run on the same weblogic. The ear-Files have different Datasources, too. That works already. Now I want to choose the URL by the maven profile. What do I have to do to get this running?

I have a master project, an ear-project, a web-project and an ejb-project.

pom of the master project:

<groupId>xxx.yyy</groupId>
<artifactId>Aras</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<name>Aras</name>

<properties>
    <application.name>Aras</application.name>
    <application.ear.name>Aras-ear</application.ear.name>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <context-root>value</context-root>
</properties>

<modules>
    <module>Aras-ear</module>
    <module>Aras-web</module>
    <module>Aras-ejb</module>

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>choose_environment</id>
        <build>
            <!-- enable resource filter to set the datasource name -->
            <resources>

                </resource>
            </resources>
        </build>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>aras</id>
        <properties>
            <datasource.name>ArasDataSource</datasource.name>
            <environment.name>ARAS</environment.name>
            <contextroot.name>/aras</contextroot.name>
        </properties>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>aras_nb</id>
        <properties>
            <datasource.name>ArasNbDataSource</datasource.name>
            <environment.name>ARAS-NB</environment.name>
            <contextroot.name>/aras_nb</contextroot.name>
        </properties>

In eclipse I execute maven "clean package" with the profiles "choose_environment, aras". When I maven-update the projects, the context-root is automatically set back to "Aras-web".

Found it.

pom of aras:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>aras</id>
        <properties>
            <datasource.name>ArasDataSource</datasource.name>
            <environment.name>ARAS</environment.name>
            <rootcontext.name>aras</rootcontext.name>
            <earfile.name>Aras-ear</earfile.name>
        </properties>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>aras_nb</id>
        <properties>
            <datasource.name>ArasNbDataSource</datasource.name>
            <environment.name>ARAS-NB</environment.name>
            <rootcontext.name>aras_nb</rootcontext.name>
            <earfile.name>Aras_nb-ear</earfile.name>
        </properties>
    </profile>
</profiles>
