It will work in RC3, I committed the fix this week. You should not be overriding maven.home.local in a project - that is a user preference and belongs in ~/build.properties.
maven.repo.remote is a funny one - It is usually a site preference (has to be implemented as a user preference as there is no notion of a site preference at the moment), but it is often overridden for a project or plugin to choose an alternate download location for custom JARs. This should work as a property, but not when put inside jelly, so you will have to either propogate it to the subprojects or wait for RC3/build from MAVEN-1_0-BRANCH. - Brett > -----Original Message----- > From: Roland Huss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 30 April 2004 12:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Properties inheritance > > > Hi, > > as it seems, properties inheritance for multiprojects is not > yet available in RC2.
