Robert Scholte commented on MNG-1958:
-------------------------------------
IMHO a MavenProject (or pom.xml) shouldn't be aware of the rootDir, only
plugins should do. When talking about a local relative repository, you might
want to have a look at the [mock repository
manager|http://mojo.codehaus.org/mrm/]
> we need a var that always points to the root directory in multi module builds

> $\{basedir} always points to the local module. There are cases, when having a
> local relative repository, when it would be usefull to have a var that always
> pointed to the root project, $\{rootdir}.
> In such a case you may want to think of having the names $\{rootdir}
> $\{moduledir}
