global properties
Hi,
There is a handful of properties that I would like to define globally,
without requiring developers to enter them into individual build.properties
files. Here are some of the properties:
maven.build.dir
maven.repo.remote
maven.jnlp.signjar.dname.cn
maven.jnlp.signjar.dname.ou
maven.jnlp.signjar.dname.o
maven.jnlp.signjar.dname.c
pom.organization.name
How do I do this?
Dmitry

You can take a look at the Geronimo build. They have a work around for a
set of projects by using a front-end maven.xml to control all the
builds. Not exactly pretty, but it works.

This is essentially how things work in maven2.

that's a shame. But I have a small team, so I can just ask everyone to
create individual build.properties. I do hope this feature will be added
to maven. IMHO properties should be cascaded this way:
1. Organization wide props
2. System wide props
3. User props
4. Project props

Why such a requirement? Organization name won't change from project to
project in most cases.

It's set to a relative path: ../.build This path should always work with
our standard project directory structure. Is this a bad practice?

There isn't a way in Maven to do this yet, unless you extract
defaults.properties from maven.jar and modify it.
This won't work for pom.organization.name though as that goes in the
project.xml.
Also, I wouldn't set a global maven.build.dir. What did you intend to set it to?
