> Should that imply that the properties become `project.rootDirectory`,
`session.rootDirectory` and `session.topDirectory` ?
> I think people are used to `basedir` so I wanted to align with it and make
things coherent. If so, I'd rename that one to `project.baseDirectory` too.
I do not think consistency is the most important virtue here. If these are
new properties in 4.0, then by all means name the properties rootDirectory,
topDirectory, etc. or perhaps some case variant of that like root_directory. I
think basedir already exists so I wouldn't rename it.
My general train of thought is to make the API and properties as clean and
readable as possible, even if that introduces some inconsistencies with older
API that does not follow best practices.

> This is a request to expose a property *maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory*
> which is currently internal (or introduce a brand new one with analogous
> functionality).
> * For a single-module project, its value should be same as *project.basedir*
> * For multi-module project, its value should point to a project.basedir of a
> root module
> Example:
> multi-module // located at /home/me/sources
> +- module-a
> +- module B
> Sample multi-module/pom.xml:
> {{<project>}}
> {{ <parent>}}
> {{ <groupId>com.acme</groupId>}}
> {{ <artifactId>corp-parent</artifactId>}}
> {{ <version>1.0.0-RELEASE</version>}}
> {{ </parent>}}
> {{ <groupId>com.acme</groupId>}}
> {{ <artifactId>multi-module</artifactId>}}
> {{ <version>0.5.2-SNAPSHOT</version>}}
> {{ <modules>}}
> {{ <module>module-a</module>}}
> {{ <module>module-b</module>}}
> {{ </modules>}}
> {{</project>}}
> The property requested should return /home/me/sources/multi-module,
> regardless of whether it's referenced in any of the child modules (module-a,
> module-b) or in multi-module.
> Note that multi-module itself has parent (e.g. installed in a local
> repository), so the new property should be smart enough to detect it and
> still point to /home/me/sources/multi-module instead of the local repository
> where the corp-parent is installed.
> The use-case for such a property could be to have a directory for combined
> report of static analysis tools. Typical example - jacoco combined coverage
> reports.
