Duh! One prepends the property with ${basedir} (of course). So that for the top-most property is "${basedir}/aDirectory" and the sub-project property is "${basedir}/../aDirectory" :-}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 07.01.2004 10:47 Please respond to "Maven Users List" To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Does maven:reactor execute the sub-projects with basedir equal to location of the reactor tag? I'm having problems with properties in project.properties involving relative paths: For the top-most maven.xml/project it points to "./aDirectory" For the subsequent directories i've for a shared project.properties that has the property set to "../aDirectory". When I use the reactor at the top it results in a "file not found" error. Any workaround for this? (apart from manual iteration that is). Regards, Jan-Helge
