Hi,
Thanks, Peter - I already had **/project.xml in the includes, so it looks like I'm already set.


That reminds me of something, though. I'm sure that this is a question with a fairly obvious answer, but I haven't been able to quite figure it out: what's the point of the multiproject plugin, rather than the reactor plugin? My build is going to be doing a lot of fairly painful and complex things, but I don't expect to use the site generation functionality in Maven at all. Given that, is there any reason for me to use multiproject rather than just the reactor?

The plain reactor doesn't have any default at all; it finds them however you
tell it to find them (i.e. */project.xml for everything one subdirectory
below the current location, **/project.xml for anything any number of
subdirectories below the current location).

The multiproject wrapper around the reactor has a default as described in my
initial reply.
