The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: John Taylor Created: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 7:29 AM Body: OK, I've simplified the test case. There is a master project in the root folder, which uses the reactor on a sub project called "Sub". This Sub project's POM inherits from Base, which in turn inherits from BaseBase. In Base I override the property maven.repo.central=base, and in BaseBase I define the property astrogrid.basebase=Base Base Property
If I run the Sub project in isolation by executing maven showprops in the sub directory, then the above properties are displayed correctly. If I run the Sub project via the reactor by executing maven usereactor in the root directory then the property maven.repo.central retains its default value of login.ibiblio.org, and the astrogrid.basebase property doesn't get picked up at all. I'm using Maven 1.0, and I've tried this on a Windows machine and a Linux machine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMULTIPROJECT-39?page=comments#action_21994 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMULTIPROJECT-39 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MPMULTIPROJECT-39 Summary: Multiproject inheritance (again) Type: Bug Status: Open Priority: Major Original Estimate: Unknown Time Spent: Unknown Remaining: Unknown Project: maven-multiproject-plugin Versions: 1.3 Assignee: dion gillard Reporter: John Taylor Created: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 9:38 AM Updated: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 7:29 AM Environment: WinXP Description: This may be a duplicate of http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMULTIPROJECT-32 in which case I apologise. I'm finding that sub projects only inherit *properties* from one level deep if run via multiproject. Furthermore, certain "built-in" properties don't get inherited at all. In the attached code, sub inherits from base which inherits from basebase. When run as a multiproject from the root project (goal: doit->multiproject:clean), sub sees the props defined in base, but not basebase. Also, the property maven.repo.central, overridden in base, retains its default value of login.ibiblio.org However, running sub directly (from sub's folder with goal "clean") gives the correct behaviour. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
