Struts uses svn externals to place /struts/build/trunk under each other sub-project, such as core. (Then a 'current' external to make it possible to check out all the sub-projects at once.)
The result is a structure like this: /current/build /current/core /current/core/build Where those two build directories contain the exact same files. With m1 and the reactor, you could run from current/build/ using maven.multiproject.basedir = ../ maven.multiproject.includes = */project.xml maven.multiproject.excludes = build/* and <maven:reactor basedir="../" includes="*/project.xml" excludes="build/project.xml" goals="dist" /> Then each of the project.xml files extends the project.xml *below* it in the svn external build directory: <extend>build/project.xml</extend> In m2 it seems I can't have it both ways... build from the top and extend beneath using the same parent pom in multiple places. The goal is to be able to check out and build a single sub-project. I'll spare you my wild guesses at how to make this work and just ask for advice. Can it be done, or will the sub-project poms have to <extend>../build/pom.xml</extend> ? (Or should it be done some other way?)
