The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: John Taylor Created: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 10:13 AM Body: OK, well I don't know enough about the internals of Maven, but there is certainly a difference between "maven.repo.central" and "astrogrid.basebase". Perhaps it's that the former already has a value and is being overridden in the properties, rather than any intrinsic difference between the properties.
If you set both astrogrid.basebase=Base Base Property maven.repo.central=base in basebase, and make sub inherit directly from that instead of base, then you'll see that maven.repo.central retains its default ibiblio value. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPMULTIPROJECT-39?page=comments#action_22006 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 10:13 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.
