I had thought that I hold solved my issue with the parent pom.xml, but
in fact I did not. I am stuck and I cannot proceed, because what I
thought was going to work did not. Here is the situation.
<pom.xml>
<artifact>b</artifact>
<parent>a</parent>
.....
.....
.....
</pom.xml>
<pom.xml>
<artifact>a</artifact>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<!--execute something in
${build.output.directory}-->
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</pom.xml>
The problem is that when -b- inherits -a-, the plugin execution inside
-a- gets executed on the ${build.out.directory} of -b-. All I want to
do is just inherit the dependencies declared in a, I do not want to
inherit the executions elements. Is this possible to do? I tried
making -a- of type pom and creating a submodule to try to solve this,
but that did not help. I would appreciate any help given in what seems
to me to be a very difficult problem. Thanks.
