The current .properties file scheme doesn't work for project inheritance (since they don't get inherited, naturallly), so I was hoping to be able to set various properties via some other mechanism. I figured out that maven.xml *does* get inherited, so I was able to set some basic properties in various preGoal tags. I tried to declare the properties outside of any preGoal to attempt to globally set some, but it didn't appear to work. I've been able to successfully do it in various specific preGoals, but I'd rather not have to update it every time a new goal comes along...
Is there a goal that I could hook into that *always* occurs before *everything* else? Or is there some other way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Thanks! -- Sean T.
