reactor and plugin dependencies & the reactor

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

I'd like to have a multi-module project in which module (a) builds the
code of an ant task, and module (b) lists module (a) as a dependency
of the antrun plugin to use it. I have a vague memory that this isn't
going to work in the reactor. Can anyone tell me if I'm inventing a
problem?

It is a bit hard to know what you want to do but it seems that you are 
using module (a) to build something that needs to be deployed to 
someplace prior to module (b) trying to use it.

I guess that the trick it give Maven a property that tells Module A 
where to deploy the Antrun file and tells module (b) where to look for 
the file.
This might be possible using a parent POM to define the property that 
both modules use to construct a location where the file can be put and 
found.

I hope that this helps.
