[jira] [Commented] (NPANDAY-358) ResGen Maven Plugin: Failed to find resources in multi module project

["Greg Knox (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-358?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13183907#comment-13183907 ] 

Greg Knox commented on NPANDAY-358:
-----------------------------------

I am also seeing this error on my own projects. 

FYI, the error message received when running an 'mvn compile' against the attached project is:

[INFO] [resgen:generate]
[INFO] [resgen:generate-existing-resx-to-resource]
[INFO] NPANDAY-070-003: Found executable path for resgen: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\bin
[INFO] C:\temp\resourceTest\parentPom\childProject\childProject\Properties\Resource.resx(123,5): error RG0000: Could not
 find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Resources\hyperlink.xml'. Line 123, positi
on 5.
[INFO] 1 error(s).

the hyperlink.xml file the plugin cannot find is located in C:\temp\resourceTest\parentPom\childProject\childProject\Resources\hyperlink.xml (relative to the C:\temp\resourceTest\parentPom\childProject\childProject\Properties\Resource.resx file which references it), rather than relative to the resgen executable.

NB: I had to change the childProject\childProject\pom.xml to get this attached project to compile; by modifying the <groupId>npanday.plugin</groupId> elements in the child project pom.xml to <groupId>org.apache.npanday.plugins</groupId>, and removing the <version>1.2.1</version> element. I am running using the latest npanday release installed via the npanday-installer-1.4.0-incubating.msi installer.
