I'm not at all clear on what the suggestion is. Is there a base assumption here that you should never have your projects in your Eclipse "workspace" folder, but always outside it? Within the workspace, Eclipse won't even support (so far as I can tell) using the modules as projects if you have:
workspace/my-project /my-app /my-webapp Right? And, even if you have your stuff in a seperate location from your workspace, you can never havve the "my-project" folder as a project in Eclipse, because it overlaps with my-app and my-webapp. So to manage updates to the aggregating pom you'd have to open up the file manually, since you can't have an Eclipse project containing it. And if I want to use Eclipse as my only CVS client, I'm stuck entirely, right? I can try to manage the subprojects with CVS seperately (though I'd rather manage the whole my-project at once), but I can't at all manage the CVS'ing of the aggregating pom. For now my current system for a multi-project is to put it all in one Eclipse project. I set my source locations manually to have different output locations to go into each module/sub-project. And of course, I have to manually manage my classpath, because the Eclipse plug-in doesn't work in this mode. I just have to avoid circular dependencies manually. -- Stephen Duncan Jr www.stephenduncanjr.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
