Solved this one by getting a fresh update from cvs and by looking at the
WebShop application made by ajsoft (www.ajsoft.net). In my root dir I
didn't have a project.properties where the root dir project.xml was
excluded. Ajsoft's WebShop had this in their root dir project.properties
(among other things):
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# P R O J E C T P R O P E R T I E S
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
maven.multiproject.excludes=project.xml
This ended my missery.
