Hi Syed, > Yeah thats a good suggestion. Also can you tell me how to remove the > C:\RSA75Workspace\workspace/ blah blah to some thing relative to workspace?? > so that the POM is portable to another workspace.
According to your initial post the effective pom lets me guess that you're using the standard directory layout. The absolute paths are the ones Maven resolves from your pom. As long as you don't have hardcoded entries in that file, your project should be perfectly portable to other workspaces/machines/users. You only have to take care if you're using relative paths, but as long as they are relative to your project, that shouldn't matter. If you have to use a different directory layout, I suggest you have a look at the documentation ([1]), especially [2]. Depending on the plugins you're using you should also have a look at their documentation ([3]); perhaps their configuration has to be adapted to fit your project layout.
