Document how parent-child POM relationships, <modules/>, and
<parent><relativePath/> works
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2026
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2026
Project: Maven 2
Type: Task
Components: Documentation: General
Reporter: John Casey
Fix For: documentation
Create a document that will describe how POMs can be related to one another in
a multimodule build. Specifically, document:
* The parent-child relationship - how is this manifest in the POMs
* How does the <modules/> section work
* How does the <relativePath/> element of the <parent/> section work...and what
is required in the <parent/> section?
* How to install ONLY the parent POM for a multimodule setup (mvn -N pom.xml at
the top level)
* How to build an entire multimodule setup from one command (tie all of this
together into a working example)
Related to this, but in another document, should be a list of things that are
inherited (could be a link to somewhere else, if this documentation exists in
other places). Also, the algorithm used to merge inherited and local POM
sections should be in this other document.
