All,
I was wondering whether (and how) it was possible to share properties
between various projects.
I have about 50 subprojects and I would like to be able to setup common
properties for them it a single place. I would also like to be able to
put these properties in CVS and not in my user home dir.
However, it seems to be impossible to specify or import a property file
from another one (or is it?).
And if I use the reactor or the multiproject plugin, some properties
seem to be unsettable at the top level because of path problems.
More specifically, for exemple, I did not manage to set a common
maven.checkstyle.properties for all my subprojects
I tried to put in the top-level project.properties :
1) maven.checkstyle.properties=mycheckstyle.xml
2) maven.checkstyle.properties=${basedir}/mycheckstyle.xml
but it failed both with a handmade reactor and the multiproject plugin.
And I cannot put an absolute path because that would require checking out
the CVS in a specific place, or modifying the path after the checkout.
Also, is there any way to share a property file for subprojects on
which maven could be invoked independently?
I did manage to share _some_ properties by putting them in a top-level
property file and invoking a reactor, but then, I cannot invoke maven
directly from a subproject with these properties.
(Using beta-9, 1.0-rc1 and cvs HEAD by the way.)
Thanks,
