Thanks Arnaud, this looks like a perfect solution.
Unfortunately I have two problems which I'm not sure
how to handle:
1. When I try the proposed solution I get an exception
complaining about the j element not being bound. For
example:
Fatal Error [line 4, row 40]: The prefix "j" for
element "j:set" is not bound.
org.apache.maven.MavenException: Error parsing plugin
script
Am I perhaps missing a Maven component which is not
part of the default distribution ?
2. Because I am using Eclipse I cannot have all of my
projects in subdirectories under a main project
directory. Hence I have the myproj-app project which
I'm using to build the EAR (there is no code in that
project, it's just there for Maven build purposes).
It's this project's directory that I'm using as a faux
root directory. Essentially my directory layout looks
like this:
C:\dev\myproj-app
C:\dev\myproj-ejb
C:\dev\myproj-util
C:\dev\myproj-web
For testing the proposed solution I have created a
maven.xml and project.properties in C:\dev. However I
would like to have the myproj-app directory be the
place where the original maven command is called. I
am planning to do something like the below in the
maven.xml and project.properties under
C:\dev\myproj-app:
--- maven.xml ---
<project default="myproj:default">
<goal name="myproj:default" prereqs="ear:install">
<j:set var="goal" value="myproj:default"/>
<attainGoal name="multiproject:goal"/>
</goal>
</project>
--- project.properties ---
# Multiproject properties
maven.multiproject.includes=../myproj-ejb/project.xml,../myproj-util/project.xml,../myproj-web/project.xml
maven.multiproject.excludes=project.xml
Does this look reasonable ? (I can't test it myself
until I resolve issue #1 above, as it gives the same
exceptions.)
Thanks...
