Windows-based organisations have the following in common: - one maven installation per (client) computer, - no ssh Consequently, - the deploy plugin cannot be configured to deploy to local network directory (necessary for commercial closed-source projects), as it is based on ssh. - making local adjustments based on a custom plugin in no good, since everybody most manually install the plugin ang make sure they are up-to-date with it all the time. So, I made a common "site-defaults" project with some goals, and made all projects inherit from it. And everything is inherited EXCEPT the property values that specify locations of fiels, urls to repository etc. The property values work for the goals in the project at the same level that they are defined, but they are not available in the inheriting project, so they cannot be used to adjust plugin parameters in the "real" projects. I cannot see any reason for this behaviour, and find it contratictory to the behaviour of inheriting maven.xml and project.xml contents. I think "parent-project/project.properties" should be first for the properties evaluation, before project.properties, build.properties and ~/*.properties --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
