I am an Eclipse user who is trying out IntelliJ IDEA. When importing a maven project, in the wizard, I am asked to "Select profile". What aspects of the project is decided on this selection?

go to View → Tool Windows → Maven Projects to open it.
You can import dependencies to your Maven project. When IntelliJ IDEA imports the added dependency, it parses the dependency and updates your project. in the editor to import the dependency and update your project.
It lets you activate different profiles that are found in your pom.xml. The docs shown above give good information but not really how you would use a profile. For example, you may have a ''dev' profile for building in your dev environment or a ''production' profile for building when you are ready to deploy. Maven allows you to use a profile by using its 'P' flag after your build command, followed by the actual profile. Eg.
mvn clean install -Pdev
Hope this helps!

I usually don't select any profiles when I import a maven project for the first time.
Once you have imported it, you can later come back and tick any profiles you want to enable / disable prior to executing a build step (like clean install).
This seems the most straight forward approach to me.
