This is something that I have tried using Maven 2.0.2 with no success - say that I have a large project consisting of a number of jars, EJB jars, wars and an EAR. I would like to maintain in one common place the definitions of java-compiler settings, test settings, report generation etc.
I have tried to create profiles in the parent pom with activeByDefault=false and then activating them in the child poms - but have not found any way to make this work. I have tried to use XML-entities and embed the definitions as XML-"fragments" in the child-poms, but for some reason the XML pull(?) parser doesn't like entities. I imagine I could create intermediary poms with pom-packaging, but this would also result in artifacts - something I don't think I want. Or is it possible to make this work without creating artifacts? Is there a simple solution to this problem that I have overlooked? -- jarl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
