It seems to want to do what I need... but I can't seem to get rid of this error:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] maven-compiler-plugin plugin is not a dependency eventhough I do have it in my pom... <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0.2</version> </dependency> Looking at the code, it seems to also want to allow "compiler", but tried that too with no luck... Still digging, but if anyone has an idea, all hints are appreciated :-) W On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 6:39 PM, VELO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I use it, works! > > VELO > > On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 11:45 AM, Benoit Decherf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Here is the plugin: > > http://www.ops4j.org/projects/pax/construct/maven-inherit-plugin/ > > > > Benoit > > > > > > Brian E.
