Ok, In order to use maven in a multiproject setting, the child projects "extend" the parent project. The problem lies in having the parent project mounted in eclipse as a project with a child project underneath. It would help if you explained in your current setup, what do you have mounted as eclipse projects?
Here's a quick demonstration of what doesn't work in eclipse: /myproject/project.xml /myproject/subproject1/project.xml (extends parent project) /myproject/subproject2/project.xml (extends parent project) now, in eclipse you CAN NOT mount 3 projects; one for the parent, and one for each subproject. This is because the files for the subprojects are already included in the parent project. If your subprojects extend a project.xml in parrellel with them, you won't run into this problem. Ex: /myproject/masterproject/project.xml /myproject/subproject1/project.xml (extends master project) /myproject/subproject2/project.xml (extends master project) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jörg Schaible [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 9:51 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: RE: Directory structure for projects & subprojects - nested or > parallel? > > Hi Ryan, > > Sonnek, Ryan wrote on Friday, March 19, 2004 4:30 PM: > > I think you answered your own question.
