Christian, thanks for your help. This is a situation where an artifact is not workable... this might be too much to ask but can you give me an idea how I might use metadata to solve my problem?
Ultimately I must pass a file location to an Ant task...

You can't do that and expect continuum to understand it. In fact, continuum checked out your child projects into their own folders that have no relation to the parent. There's literally no way to know what to set that property to. If you have things in the parent that are necessary to the children, then you need to make sure they are available to the children either through metadata, or by being included in an artifact (jar) that the children have access to. You haven't "configured things incorrectly" - your project design is problematic, because it makes the assumption that your folder structure is constant. With maven, you should not make that assumption. With continuum, you cannot make that assumption. Christian.
