Dumb question (possibly): what does the @aggregator annotation do,
exactly?
I read the doc here:
http://maven.apache.org/developers/mojo-api-specification.html
It says: "Flags this Mojo to run it in a multi module way, i.e. aggregate
the build with the set of projects listed as modules."
But I don't understand that. What does it mean to aggregate the build
with its modules? What's a multi-module way?
Specifically, in 2.4 I added @aggregator to the surefire-report plugin
when I tried to fix SUREFIRE-268 by copying code from the javadoc plugin,
but this appears to have caused SUREFIRE-449: in a 10 project reactor,
project 1's tests are run 10 times; project 2's tests are run 10 times,
project 3's tests are run 10 times, and so on.
It seems like getting rid of the @aggregator I added in fixes the problem,
but I don't really understand why I added it in the first place, or why
the javadoc plugin has it, or why jxr doesn't.
How is it supposed to work?
