Inheritance of to sub-subprojects

[Brent Hale]

I have a directory structure which includes subprojects some of which 
have also have subprojects.  All project.xml files inherit from the 
top-level parent.  The top level parent maven.xml file has in it the 
following pregoal:

   <preGoal name="jar:jar">
       <attainGoal name="someotherplugin:goal"/>
   </preGoal>
This pregoal gets called correctly for each immediate subproject.  
However for subprojects that have other subprojects (ones which have to 
use the reactor to build other subprojects) it appears that the preGoal 
is not being inherited.  My work-around is to put the above pregoal into 
the maven.xml file of each parent that has subprojects.  I was thinking 
(assuming) that the top-level pregoal should have been passed all the 
way down.

Is this a bug or the way maven was designed to work?
