This is eomthing we want to make possible in beta-1. In Maven 1 (and what we have supported so far), aggregation was done through a separate project, pulling in the dependencies (eg, an EAR).
However, we want to support top level aggregation that pulls in subprojects instead, as well. A workaround is to create a suproject that depends on all the modules you want to aggregate and includes them (their transitive deps will also be included). - Brett On 8/13/05, Sidart Kurias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > All, > > I am trying to build an assembly for a multiproject > setup in m2a3. > > I would like to verify what I am doing is ok (even if > it may not be correct). > > What I would like to do is to build one tar/zip > containing the jars (and dependencies) of all > subprojects. > > I have defined an assembly descriptor only in the > parent project.
