Hi Niclas,

> avalon-excalibur/buildsystem/project-common.xml
                                       ^^^^
should be project.properties ?

> avalon-excalibur/project-common.xml
> avalon-excalibur/compatibility/project.xml
> avalon-excalibur/compatibility/project.properties

although I do currently not know, where this path problem comes from, but I have to 
add some general notes:

- Maven does not inherit properties and from the POM normally only the dependencies 
section is merged. This is subject of change, but post 1.0. Personally I have added a 
pregoal for build:start to my maven.xml's that will load global properties. But even 
here: It is too late for the maven.repo.remote entry. This one cannot be shared, since 
the goal runs too late.

- your "child" project.properties should contain an entry maven.multiproject.type. 
Otherwise multiproject does not know, what to call. Maybe this is your problem below ?

- maven.javadoc.stylesheet =file:${avalon.buildsystem}/stylesheet.css will not work. 
All you define here is the link that is inserted in your HTML code. There are open 
JIRA issues (with patch) to solve this, but they're not applied

Try to validate your POMs with pom:validate.

Hope this helps,
J�rg
