I am trying to understand the multi-module in m2. In the the sub module how does m2 actually know about the parent module. I see in the pom.xml that there is a parent XML tag element, but it does not have a reference back direct to the parent, that I can see. How does it actually work?
e.g <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <parent> <artifactId>CSFB Cashflow IT</artifactId> <groupId>com.csfb.cashflow.support</groupId> <version>0.9.8-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> ... </project> -- Peter Pilgrim :: J2EE Software Development Operations/IT - Credit Suisse First Boston, Floor 15, 5 Canada Square, London E14 4QJ, United Kingdom Tel: +44-(0)207-883-4497 > -----Original Message----- > From: Srepfler Srgjan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 28 October 2005 22:50 > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: [m2] Eclipse webapp lib > > > Hi Brian, > I'm writing in relation to the j2ee artifact that was > released and the > maven-eclipse-plugin patch that you wrote.
