Brian Fox commented on MNG-1958: -------------------------------- I haven't tried it yet, but I know that ./ always points to the root of where a build was launched (basically the current folder when the jvm is launched). I was looking here http://www.sonatype.com/book/properties.html#properties and noticed "user.dir" from the java settings. I bet this would work. > we need a var that always points to the root direcotry in multi module builds > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1958 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1958 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Reactor and workspace > Reporter: Mark Proctor > Fix For: 2.1 > > > ${basedir} always points to the local module.
