Hi ,
let me take an example ,
i have a 'modules' maven directory containing project.xml with the contents:
<project>
.......
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.j2ee.blueprints</groupId>
<artifactId>petstore-war</artifactId>
<version>${pom.currentVersion}</version>
<type>war</type>
<properties>
<ear.bundle>true</ear.bundle>
<ear.appxml.war.context-root>/petstore</ear.appxml.war.context-root>
</properties>
</dependency>
<build>
.......
</build>
.......
</project>
the project.properties :
maven.multiproject.includes=**/project.xml
maven.multiproject.excludes=project.xml
i have a subproject 'petstore-web' under the modules directory containing
project.xml with the contents:
<project>
<extend>../project.xml</extend>
<name>Petstore WAR</name>
<artifactId>petstore-war</artifactId>
<package>com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.petstore</package>
<shortDescription>Petstore WAR</shortDescription>
<description>Petstore WAR</description>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.j2ee.blueprints</groupId>
<artifactId>util-tracer</artifactId>
<version>${pom.currentVersion}</version>
<properties>
<war.bundle>true</war.bundle>
</properties>
</dependency>
........
</dependencies>
<build>
......
</build>
</project>
Now ... From modules when i run 'multiproject:clean' , it gives the same
error of cycle.
but if i run clean from the petstore-web directory , i get no such error
.....
The Multiproject:clean must be calling clean on each subproject ... so if i
run explicitly from the subproject ... it runs smoothly i.e. it deletes the
target directory within the subproject.
What causes the error ?
