Re: build.properties & project.xml inheritence

Mabey it would be done. But for now I use same hack in maven.xml on main project level and it works for subprojects: <preGoal name="build:start"> <attainGoal name="loadMasterProperties"/> </preGoal>

   <goal name="loadMasterProperties">
       <echo message="loading master properties"/>
       <property file="${basedir}/../project.properties"/>
   </goal>

This might work with multiproject (I haven't verified this) but if you do a
build for a subproject itself it does't work.  Maybe this is a bug or an
oversight, but I think this is really necessary.  Currently there is no
properties inheritence and I believe the build.properties in a user's home
should only be used to override the defaults.  It shouldn't be mandatory for
the build.

I just make some test where i put properties in "master"
project.properties, and called it with maven multiproject plugin, and
there subproject's got those properties.

This is working

great. The problem is if I want to define properties in

build.properties

and have them shared by the entire hierachy of projects. For example, I define the webserver IP address in my "master"

build.properties. How can I

get this to be inherited by all my subprojects? So far the

only way I see

is to define a build.properties in my user home directory. The

problem with

this is I want this file to be stored in CVS. The build won't

work without

it. Please let me know if there is a way to do this.

The solution, I think, is that when you extend a project.xml

you should also

inherit its build.properties. That way there is a "master"

build.properties
for the project, and it's stored in CVS with the project.
