Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-1958:
------------------------------------
@Robert, possibly. While this is intended for plugins and extensions, I'm not
sure what harm there is in exposing this as it will be immutable for a build.
If a project wanted to use this I'm not sure there's any harm. That said no
plans to immediately expose this to MavenProject as I have no use case for that
personally.

> $\{basedir} always points to the local module. There are cases, when having a
> local relative repository, when it would be usefull to have a var that always
> pointed to the root project, $\{rootdir}.
> In such a case you may want to think of having the names $\{rootdir}
> $\{moduledir}
