I have a large library resource that is used during my build that is
accessed from many of my modules. I have put that resource in the top
level parent basedir /src/main/MySpecialResource.
I want all the modules in my project to have access to the location of this
resource. So I created a property in that top level parent pom:
<properties>
<myspecialresource.basedir>${basedir}\src\main\MySpecialResource</myspecialresource.basedir>
</properties>
The problem I am having is that the ${basedir} property is refiltered every
time the ${myspecialresource.basedir} is referenced. So every time one of
my modules references this property the basedir is refiltered with that
module's ${basedir} directory rather than containing the top level parent's
basedir.
Is there a way to set a property with a path that is only filtered once,
when it is declared?
thanks
