I think what he was trying to say was that if you gain access to the properties (from project.properties) in your parent, then you automatically have access to them in the child. Just access them in the child the same way you would normally - they should be there. I'm assuming you're accessing from project.xml. The inheritance occurs between POM's, not between project.properties files.

In m2, you can read in any properties file and gain access to the properties therein. In m1 I think it happened automatically for files called project.properties in the basedir, right?

My previous email was a disaster: sorry! I'll try again.

I know how to inherit (include) a project.xml but I do not know how to do it with project.properties file.

Thanks for helping,

I SUBDIR1 extends TOPDIR then you can put these properties in the
TOPDIR and SUBDIR1 will have access to them (using the inheritence).

Hello,
I have a multi project setup: let say that the top directory is called
"TOPDIR". TOPDIR has a subdirectory called "SUBDIR1". SUBDIR1 is a
subproject of TOPDIR. TOPDIR contains its project.xml and
project.properties and SUBDIR1 contains its project.xml and
project.properties. Now let's say that the two project.properties have 4
properties in common.

Is ther a way to put those common properties in a file and "include"
this file in the 2 project.properties?

Thank you for any help,
-Matteo

PS: I am using MAVEN 1.X
