I am trying to enhance/replace our Ant build with Maven. But I am unable to find the answer or a good practice for a seemingly basic activity:
How can I perform a cvs checkout from scratch of multiple (>20) projects, including their project.xmls starting from the upper/top level project.xml?
I can't use the reactor as the subordinate directories are not created and populated at the very beginning.
It is my understanding per project only one module could be checked out with <repository/> (i.e. I can't specify multiple modules to be checked out). Moreover, after inspection plugin.jelly for scm:checkout-project seems to first delete the directory with the checked-out module (if any), so any kind of "bootstrapping" (creating the directories and then somehow generating or checking-out and copying the individual project.xmls) would not work either.
Is the only way to go to write a pre/postGoal ant task in the top-level maven.xml or there is something better? Why am I not able to find an example how to do this, is this considered such a rare task or I am missing something? I am really confused here.
Thanks for any help, -- Svetlin
