Profiles
Profiles provide the if-else of the POM. It is basically aimed towards configuring your build depending on the properties. A couple of the usual properties used are the JDK, the OS ( Operating System ). Furthermore, Profiles can be activated depending on whether a particular file exists or not.

OS Activation
To configure the activation via the operating system, you can specify four (4) things - name, family, architecture, and/or version.
The Profile OS Activation part looks like this
For the family, architecture, and version, this is checked by comparing these values against System.getProperties( "os.name" ), System.getProperties( "os.arch" ), System.getProperties( "os.version" ) respectively.
