Body:
finished in my check out, will commit soon. All paths are relative to project.xml, but
can be absolute (so basedir is also allowed). Had to fix the inheritence unit tests
that abused the broken basedir in extend :)
Still have to go through some of the plugins and check the usage is ok.
A tag will be present for use in maven.xml where you need a relative path:
<maven:makePathRelative var="relativePath" basedir="${basedir}"
path="${pom.build.sourceDirectory}"/>
will set relativePath to src/java, otherwise you will get back ${basedir}/src/java
<maven:makePathAbsolute var="absolutePath" basedir="${basedir}" path="${somePath}"/>
will return ${basedir}/${somePath} if somePath was relative, or ${somePath} if it was
already absolute

Description:
Currently there are several elements in the POM that use paths in order to find
various resources. The currently accepted pattern is to use ${basedir} as a prefix for
all these paths so that they work in the reactor environment. We can certainly
identify all the elements in the POM that are path related. We need to decide whether
to mandate the use of ${basedir} or make it implicit in POM elements that store paths.
Once this is decided the plugins all need to be audited to ensure they follow the
pattern we mandate.
