Hi Mike, thanks for the quick reply!
If I configure the plugin within the pluginManagement section of the parent, it's not automatically executed in the sub-modules. I have to add it to the plugins section of all the sub-modules' pom files -- (yes, I do not need to duplicate the configuration, but I still need to specify groupId and artifactId every time) - my project has > 30 sub-modules, with more to come.
I think this is a general maven problem, that one cannot configure a plugin in a parent pom file for automatic execution in sub-modules only.
One solution for this case would be to change the xml-maven-plugin so it does not complain if the xml source directory is not present. Then it wouldn't matter whether it was executed in the parent or not. Or I could create a dummy directory... hm.
Any other suggestions? Regards, Ute --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
