This is where the "fragile" comes in..
In a multi-module build, ${basedir} is the dir of the current build.
Thus, if you have a jar that is needed by all the submodules, you'd have
to move it into all the subdirs. OR define a propery in each module
that gives it's relative location:
<topdir>../..</topdir>
....
<url>file://${basedir}/${topdir}/mvn-repo</url>
The next issue is if you do a deploy to maven repo to make your stuff
available to other maven projects, they'll start trying to find things
in file://${basedir}/${topdir}/mvn-repo, which, in their project,
doesn't exist. Thus, it won't find your dependent jars.
