That's fine, but it was a reasonably large change, and it seemed like there were unresolved issues around it reading the mailing list. Anyway, if everyone is happy, I'm ok with it - I just wanted to make sure everyone had the chance to buy in on it. > You would like the parent project.properties files to be > called the same way as the parent.xml files? > > ie: > <extend>../plugin-parent.xml</extend> > > makes maven read: > > ../plugin-parent.xml and > ../plugin.parent.properties No, I'd like the properties file to disappear and become one with the project.xml file. If for some reason a properties file was a good thing, I'd think <properties file="${basedir}/project.properties" /> is an appropriate element. We shouldn't have any hardcoded filenames. - Brett
