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

> ${basedir} always points to the local module. There are cases, when having a 
> local relative repository, when it would be usefull to have a var that always 
> pointed to the root project, ${rootdir}.
> In such a case you may want to think of having the names ${rootdir} 
> ${moduledir}
