Maven does start in a project directory, but I suspect what you're
looking for is a parent project's directory. Because Continuum does
not necessarily know about parent folders, since it pulls each
project out individually, you need your build setup to not be
dependent on folder location.
In other words
Parent
|
- Child 1
|
| Child 2
as a project structure is fine. However, Continuum will treat them as
Parent
Child 1
Child 2
It will know that Child 1 has a parent of "Parent" because of the
metadata, and that is independent of file location. this is actually
a factor of Maven, but Continuum uses maven according to Maven's
intent. Unfortunately, some bad practice has crept in to how some
people use Maven, and Continuum's basic assumptions don't support
some of that.
Maybe if you describe your issue a little more explicitly, someone
can recommend an alternative way to accomplish the same goal that
works within Maven's assumptions.

Hi,
I am a new maven and continuum user. I'm having problems setting a
relative path because when continuum runs maven it interprets
variables
such as ${base.dir} differently than when I run maven from the project
directory. I assume this is because continuum starts maven in a
web app
working directory. Is there a way to get continuum to start maven in
the project directory?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
