Well, since it's the same value for all projects, you can just specify it in the parent POM (assuming you have one), then all child projects will inherit that value if they don't override it with their own groupId.
In my case, this trick won't work, because each project needs a different value (with a standard naming convention). ..David.. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Redmond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 9:32 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [m2] Wrapping an existing Mojo with a proxy Mojo I've actually had a similar issue. In my case, maven-archetype-plugin requires a groupId, although it will always be the same for our projects. I'd love to be able to specify the groupId by default for all cases.
