ASF GitHub Bot commented on MNG-7038: ------------------------------------- rmannibucau commented on PR #1061: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1061#issuecomment-1489172763 > Imho, we need this definition before parsing any project POM , else use cases such as https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1059 or https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/1062 cannot be covered. So I'm not opposed to a different way of pinning, but not from pom files. For the second one it is not a technical issue AFAIK. For first one it looks it is a bit more nasty indeed but `maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory` seems fully dedicated to this lifecycle case and looks like having the same issues so if it will somehow assume `.mvn` is there, I would prefer `.mvn/jvm.config` enabling a minimum interpolation (`$PWD` or alike) which can be set in `jvm.config` this way user can set all the system props needed there and avoid the ambiguity to introduce something magic with a lot of corner cases. > Introduce public property to point to a root directory of (multi-module) > project > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-7038 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7038 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Envious Guest > Priority: Major > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x > > > This is a request to expose a property *maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory* > which is currently internal (or introduce a brand new one with analogous > functionality). > * For a single-module project, its value should be same as *project.basedir* > * For multi-module project, its value should point to a project.basedir of a > root module > Example: > multi-module // located at /home/me/sources > +- module-a > +- module B > Sample multi-module/pom.xml: > {{<project>}} > {{ <parent>}} > {{ <groupId>com.acme</groupId>}} > {{ <artifactId>corp-parent</artifactId>}} > {{ <version>1.0.0-RELEASE</version>}} > {{ </parent>}} > {{ <groupId>com.acme</groupId>}} > {{ <artifactId>multi-module</artifactId>}} > {{ <version>0.5.2-SNAPSHOT</version>}} > {{ <modules>}} > {{ <module>module-a</module>}} > {{ <module>module-b</module>}} > {{ </modules>}} > {{</project>}} > The property requested should return /home/me/sources/multi-module, > regardless of whether it's referenced in any of the child modules (module-a, > module-b) or in multi-module. > Note that multi-module itself has parent (e.g. installed in a local > repository), so the new property should be smart enough to detect it and > still point to /home/me/sources/multi-module instead of the local repository > where the corp-parent is installed. > The use-case for such a property could be to have a directory for combined > report of static analysis tools.
