Is there a property for parent directory?

[Huang, Yan]

Hi,

Is there a property or way to get parent directory in maven? Let's say I
have this structure of my projects:

Parent
  |____ pom.xml
  |____ child project 1
  |           |___ pom.xml
  |____ child project 2
              |___ pom.xml


Child project 1 and project 2 will inherit from parent 1. Now, when
building children projects, is there a property in maven that can be
used to refer to the actual directory of parent during build time? I
know the notation of ${basedir}/../ might work in most cases, but what
if child project is in another level down, i.e.

Parent
  |____ pom.xml
  |____ children folder 1
  |             |___ child project 1
  |             |             |        
  |             |             |___ pom.xml
  |             |___ child project 2
  |                           |___ pom.xml
  |____ child project 3
              |___ pom.xml


Thanks
Yan
