I haven't tried it yet, but I know that ./ always points to the root of where a
build was launched (basically the current folder when the jvm is launched). I
was looking here http://www.sonatype.com/book/properties.html#properties and
noticed "user.dir" from the java settings. I bet this would work.

Andy, I could probably think of a few handy ones. I know I've wished for this
in the past. Lets say you want to point all your test logs to one place in the
whole build. Or in my case I wanted to use hsqlb and reuse the results but
needed a common location to point them all to.

This is somehow related to MNG-2896
Both are needed to make full use of a project-local repository-like folder.

We use a root directory as a temporary repository for jars:
http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossrules/trunk/repository/
Its not always possible or desirable to have remote repositories for some jars,
so this is a good work around. However the location breaks for multi-module
builds when being run in continuum. So this would allow us to use this
approach, while still working in continuum.

Can one of the interested parties say why this is wanted?
Any information that modules want to share should be packaged in an artifact
and depended upon as any other dependency.
The very concept of a ${rootdir} breaks the reproducable nature of a maven
build. Variable variables like this should be avoided!
