Module: Inherit configuration from parent project

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hi,

I have a plugin, which is basically controlled by a config file. So,
my plugin configuration looks like this:

  <configuration>
     <configFile>src/main/myPlugin/config.xml</configFile>
  </configuration>

In a module, it is desirable to reuse the parents configuration, so this becomes

     <configFile>../src/main/myPlugin/config.xml</configFile>

or, if the module wishes to overwrite the parents configuration, it
might even be

     <configFiles>
        <configFile>../src/main/myPlugin/config.xml</configFile>
         <configFile>src/main/myPlugin/config.xml</configFile>
      </configFiles>

Now my question; If parent, and module are in the same reactor (which
is usually the case), then is it possible, that the plugin detects the
presence of the parents configuration file automatically, without
explicit configuration. by looking into the parent project?

Thanks,

Jochen
