Bugs like this are one of the reasons the plugin is still alpha. Although, I have to admit that I did not expect the plugin to get used like this since I figured each project that wanted to be able to build an RPM would need an individual configuration; I wasn't expecting anyone to want to use an identical configuration for the plugin on every project.
I'll take a look at some of the other plugins and figure out how to do this check and update the sources to make this work. -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 20:44 To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: plugin use in multiprojects seems broken You'll need to provide more details. Why doesn't it work if you don't put it in the parent? Where do you put it if not in the parent? Regardless, it should work in the parent. It's a bug in the rpm plugin if it attempts to produce an rpm for a pom - it should be testing the packaging. - Brett On 3/11/06, Xavier Toth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe I'm missing something but the use of plugins in multiprojects seems > broken to me.
