Making resources defined in a superpom available to underlying poms.

[Jan-Olav Eide]

I have a pom with packaging jar that contains a number of modules
(possibly nested). I have some resources that I want to be available to
all underlying poms . In my case it is a reference to a checkstyle
configuration file, but it could be anything (such as the stylesheet
used for javadoc generation). I have defined a property with the
_absolute_ path to this file in the top level pom, but is that the best
way to do it? I'd rather use a relative path (relative to the top
level), is that possible?

Hi,

For checkstyle, you can follow this [1]

[1] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/customize.html
(cf. Use a custom developd Checkstyle Check modules)

or

 plugin
   groupIdorg.apache.maven.plugins/groupId
   artifactIdmaven-checkstyle-plugin/artifactId
   version2.1/version
   configuration
 configLocation${project.parent.basedir
}/src/main/config/checkstyle.xml/configLocation
   /configuration
 /plugin


The second solution is more generic and not specific for checkstyle.

HTH,

Rémy

I was hoping I could define the resource only once. If I understand you 
correctly, the plugin configuration below needs to be present in all poms?

No, you just have to declare it in our parent pom.
Just try to see if it works...

Parent
 | --- module1
 | --- module2
 | --- ...
 | --- src
 |   | --- main
 |   || --- config
 |   ||| --- checkstyle.xml
 | --- pom.xml
