Re: How to not extend maven.xml from parent project to subprojects?

The way I handle it is to create a unique goal in your root project which has one attainGoal tag that uses the preGoal on the new unique goal.

ex:

<goal name="xdocwrapper">
   <attainGoal name="xdoc:transform">
</goal>

<preGoal name="xdocwrapper">
    <mkdir dir="xdocs/"/>
    <j:file name="xdocs/modules.xml">
    .....
</preGoal>

Hey all,
Still loving Maven, thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I came across this scenario, and it tripped me up a bit before finally figuring it out, so sharing it and wondering if there is a better way of handling it. What I have is in my root project folder, the maven.xml has the following pre-goal to create a list of all the subprojects. Attached below is the code snip if anyone is interested.

I got tripped up on this because the pre-goal I defined in my root maven.xml extended/carried over to all my subprojects. This is kinda cool, but I don't want to do that in this scenario (it tries to run the pre-goal from the subproject, which the reactor doesn't like). I suppose I could go into *each* maven.xml file in each of the subprojects and do an overwrite, but that just seems silly. Any ideas? TIA!
