Body:
The elements in question are:
<extend>
<*sourceDirectory> (ie includeing unit tests, etc)
<directory> (under <resource>)
Indication from discussion on the mailing list is this:
- all paths in project.xml should not use ${basedir}, and should be considered
relative to project.xml. There is no need to have any absolute paths.
- all properties that specify files and use of files in maven.xml will have to have
${basedir} or absolute paths as there is no way to track CWD from there, or to know
which properties are files.
One other element of concern is <targetDirectory> within <resource>, as it is relative
to another base. For now, clear documentation will have to suffice unless a better
idea emerges.
I'm ready to work on this as soon as the refactoring of Project lands.

Key: MAVEN-522
Summary: Clarification of POM elements that use paths.
Type: Task
Status: Unassigned

Description:
Currently there are several elements in the POM that use paths in order to find
various resources. The currently accepted pattern is to use ${basedir} as a prefix for
all these paths so that they work in the reactor environment. We can certainly
identify all the elements in the POM that are path related. We need to decide whether
to mandate the use of ${basedir} or make it implicit in POM elements that store paths.
Once this is decided the plugins all need to be audited to ensure they follow the
pattern we mandate.
