thanks for the answer. Sorry I probably should have add more information.
It is generated source code. We have IDL files for Corba which are in project folder 'idl' - but not all modules have this idl folder. The idea is: in case of a 'idl' folder, the system to generate the java files from idl files is running and the /target/generated-sources (in which the java files are generated) is added as source folder. if no idl folder is given, the "normal" way to should proceed. But the problem remains that this system for the idls should only be active when this idl folder is present - is this possible to define in the parent pom ? (especially as the idl2java system requires addtional dependencies etc - I dont want to redefine that in every pom of a module which requires it). As we are bound to visibroker and there is no maven plugin available, we are required to find another solution :( Stephen Connolly-2 wrote: > > On 4 June 2010 09:18, MartyMcFly <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> >> I have a multimodule project in which some modules need an additional >> sourcefolder, whereas other modules dont. >> To avoid redefining this in each of the relevant modules I want to add >> this >> to the parent pom and activate the project if this folder X is present. >> >> Unfortunately this seems not working as the activation section seems to >> be >> interpreted during the parent pom, where no folder X exists.
