But if I do the compile in a/b/b.a it works w/o install. I think it should work - my use case is: large structure with a lot of projects - I modify something in a subproject, add something to the profile in the top project - and I cant do a compile/package in the subproject for testing - and I can't do an install in the top project because one of my subprojects fails. (I have to migrate from ant to Maven 2 ...) My workaround is, to make the changes, put the parent pom via copy in the repo and so I can use the new profile variables in my subprojects, but my hope was, that the poms get resolved in subdir a/b as they get resolved in subdir a/b/b.a
