POM-only projects ignored. Causes problems with parent/child module pattern
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONTINUUM-330
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-330
Project: Continuum
Type: Bug
Versions: 1.0-alpha-4
Reporter: A.J. Whitney
POM-only projects are ignored. This poses problems for projects which depend
on the POM-only project.
A common pattern is to have a POM-only parent with modules. This pattern is
broken for two reasons:
1) The POM-only project is never added to Continuum so there is no way for the
parent project to exist in the repository if Continuum is the only build
mechanism (which seems likely for a production environment based on Continuum)
2) Each child module is added to Continuum separately and the parent/child
module directory structure is not maintained. This is a problem as child
modules cannot depend on the parent POM via directory structure (either the
default ../pom.xml or via another path specified via the <relativePath>
element).
As this parent/child module pattern is extremely common for all but trivial
projects, this seems like an issue with a broad impact.
