Let me explain what I had in mind, perhaps there's a better way to
accomplish it.
I was about to walk over a hierarchy of about 20 poms adding, to each,
a property like:
<globalRoot>../../..</globalRoot>
where the number of ..'s would be different depending on the hierarchy
location of the POM. So, I had this inspiration: make a plugin that
could be stuck at the very top that would set a property to the
absolute path of the top, and let it trickle down. Then individual
projects could reference some large, slow-to-copy items up there with
${globalRoot}/refrigerator.
Of course, my plugin doesn't work due to what you just told me. So, I
wonder -- is there some other way to do this?
