Kenney Westerhof updated MNG-2026: ---------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 2.0.5) 2.0.6 > Document how parent-child POM relationships, <modules/>, and > <parent><relativePath/> works > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-2026 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2026 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Task > Components: Documentation: General > Reporter: John Casey > Fix For: 2.0.6 > > > Create a document that will describe how POMs can be related to one another > in a multimodule build. Specifically, document: > * The parent-child relationship - how is this manifest in the POMs > * How does the <modules/> section work > * How does the <relativePath/> element of the <parent/> section work...and > what is required in the <parent/> section? > * How to install ONLY the parent POM for a multimodule setup (mvn -N pom.xml > at the top level) > * How to build an entire multimodule setup from one command (tie all of this > together into a working example) > Related to this, but in another document, should be a list of things that are > inherited (could be a link to somewhere else, if this documentation exists in > other places). Also, the algorithm used to merge inherited and local POM > sections should be in this other document. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
