What Maven version (beta-10 or CVS)? What Multiproject version (the one that
came with beta-10 or release 1.0 or the one in CVS)?
I'm guessing its beta-10, which means you need to add ${basedir}/ to the
front of the path. That's fixed in CVS.
As for the multiproject plugin - use version 1.0 released on the site, not
the one in beta-10.
