it's worth a shot to turn the slash around.  ../project.xml
${basedir}/../project.xml works on my windows machines.

Subject: multiproject build with inherited POMs


I'm getting a "can't find ..\project.xml" when trying to use multiproject to
build Maven plugins with POMs that inherit from the root POM.  This is the
structure reflected in the plugins-build directory in the CVS tree.  As a
sanity check, I pulled src/plugins-build/* and src/plugins-build/war/* from
CVS and got the same error.  It occurs no matter which goal I specify; I've
tried "multiproject:site" and "multiproject:artifact" among others.

Perhaps it isn't evaluating the ".." in relationship to the working
directory of the subproject, and thus isn't finding the root POM?  Or, am I
doing something wrong?

Here's the text of the error:

C:\Java\plugins2>maven multiproject:site

multiproject:site:
multiproject:create-nav:
