-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there,
I have a complex maven project that goes down to 3 levels of POM inheritance (= it has sub-sub-projects). I am not really sure about what the suggested layout is: TREE: trunk/ trunk/foo-project/pom.xml trunk/foo-project/foo-project-util/pom.xml trunk/foo-project/foo-project-service/pom.xml trunk/foo-project/foo-project-service/foo-project-service-core/pom.xml trunk/foo-project/foo-project-service/foo-project-service-main/pom.xml or FLAT: trunk/ trunk/foo-project/pom.xml trunk/foo-project-util/pom.xml trunk/foo-project-service/pom.xml trunk/foo-project-service-core/pom.xml trunk/foo-project-service-main/pom.xml As it seems by most plugins the "FLAT" layout is required for them to work. On the other hand some parts of maven seem to expect the "TREE" layout (e.g. parent POMs are sometimes looked up at "../pom.xml"). I personally prefer the "TREE" variant. Especially if someone only wants to checkout and work on a sub-project this makes it way easier! But because I got into heavy trouble with maven I changed to the "FLAT" variant (what caused a lot of stupid work). I could not find any offical documentation about this toppic. My personal oppinion is that maven should support both ways (without heavy customization). The problem is that there are lots of plugins heavily involved in this issue (maven-release-plugin, all the reports such as the source repository, etc) and the maven-core itself. So what do you think about this one?
