Dennis Lundberg commented on MPMD-158:
--------------------------------------
Hi Taras,
The project you attached does fail. That is the expected behavior for Maven.
Any file related configuration you provide for a plugin will always resolve
from the module level.
What we are seeing here is really a Maven and Continuous Integration
anti-pattern. A Maven project should never use files outside of the project's
directory. For a multi module build this is almost certain to fail on a
Continuous Integration server like Jenkins.
