How can i get the parent directory when i run Maven
Is there any way i can get the parent folder of
"basedir" from maven.xml when i run maven.
say i am executing maven from my "C:\temp\tmp" so my
basedir happens to be "C:\temp\tmp" but i want the
parent of "C:\temp\tmp" i.e just "C:\temp".
regards
Rahul.

<util:file name="${basedir}" var="f" />
...
${f.parent}
...
(f is a java.io.File, so f.parent is the equivalent of f.getParent())

RE: How can i get the parent directory when i run Maven
Posted by rahul murthy <ra...@yahoo.com>.
i am not using maven in multi project scenario.
like i have a project in CVS and 2 developers working
on it.
and the application uses some dependent files located
in the parent folder from where maven is excuted ,
like if the developers are running the apllication
from different location in thier dev environment like
say one is using C:\home\myproject and the other is
using C:\myproject than each has to maintain their own
maven.xml to locate the dependent files if we are able
to get the parent folder in maven.xml than we can
remove the hardcoded value of the location from
maven.xml.

Hmm, well many use this in multiproject to put the actual project source in
a directory at the same level as the other projects, vs them as subprojects:
maven.multiproject.basedir=${basedir}/..
Are you using it as a property to something, or directly yourself in code?
If directly, ensure it is interpretted correctly (expanded) vs as the actual
name of a file/dir.
