Hi,
Thanks a lot, Kenney, for your explanation and code snippet! This is
exactly what I was looking for! I have filled in the tiny missing
details in your sample code to build up a working example which you
can find below. Just in case anyone else is interested in it.
One thing I noticed is that the example should not be run from
within a directory containing a pom.xml file since, otherwise,
this project file is interpreted as being the parent model file!
Well, again, thanks a lot!
Regards,
Ovidio
