This is how it works now. If a parent maven.xml file is present it will be loaded before the child's maven.xml file. This way all the goals specified in the parent's maven.xml file will be available to the child but the child may override any of the goals. Real object inheritance is the model we're shooting for so any variation is more than likely an error on my part. > Charles > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: James Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 10:56 AM > To: Turbine Maven Users List > Subject: RE: Reactor test cases > > > I think this might be more of a feature.
