It's not possible since the parent pom.xml may have been resolved from the repository.
-----Original Message----- From: Simon Trudeau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 5:52 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: What is the directory of the parent pom.xml file? I am currently trying to copy, using the maven-dependency-plugin, all my dependencies from all my child modules into a directory relative to the root parent folder (the one containing the root pom.xml file). Since copy-dependencies command, invoked from the parent pom, is recursive, it looks like I cannot specify the root pom folder as ${basedir} since this value is different for each project! Is there a way to know the absolute value (directory) of the root parent folder? How do you reference a directory relative to the root folder of a multi module project in maven? P |-----A |-----B |-----... |-----Z |-----outputdir (relative to P) Thanks for your help, Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
