Re: How to move the directory of a multi-module project?

You can't do exactly what you are aiming to do dynamically but you could hard code that structure into your pom's. Look into the property; project.build.directory If you defined that in the respective pom's as below; project.build.directory=/tmp/grandfarther/target

Thanks, John, for answering my question. There's no special reason, I have the project on a SSD drive and don't want to write to that so often. On Friday, May 30, 2014 5:28 AM, Karl Heinz Marbaise khmarba...@gmx.de wrote: Hi, grandfather       |       | pom.xml       |

So I'm guessing you then have mapped tmp to a ram drive, otherwise tmp will still be on your SSD unless you also have a non-SSD too which is mapped to tmp. Honestly as long as it's a new ish SSD, your not writing GB and GB per hour constantly 24/7, your SSD is under about 60% full then I would

I don't think you should make a project for your sql jar. My guess is when you build+install that, you're creating an empty and useless jar file and overwriting the good one you already placed in your local repo. The mvn:install:install-file thing works and is what I would expect as the answer.
