Mark Proctor commented on MNG-1958: ----------------------------------- We use a root directory as a temporary repository for jars: http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossrules/trunk/repository/ Its not always possible or desirable to have remote repositories for some jars, so this is a good work around. However the location breaks for multi-module builds when being run in continuum. So this would allow us to use this approach, while still working in continuum. > we need a var that always points to the root direcotry in multi module builds > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1958 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1958 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mark Proctor > Fix For: 2.1.x > > > ${basedir} always points to the local module.
