[jira] Created: (MNG-1958) we need a var that always points to the
root direcotry in multi module builds
we need a var that always points to the root direcotry in multi module builds
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1958
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1958
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mark Proctor
Fix For: 2.1
${basedir} always points to the local module. There are cases, when having a local relative repository, when it would be usefull to have a var that always pointed to the root project, ${rootdir}.
In such a case you may want to think of having the names ${rootdir} ${moduledir}

-------------------------------
just so long as you don't assume that the root project is actually in a root direvctory of the project.
we have some 40 projects in CVS and it is utterly infeasable to move them all to support a strict folder heirarchy. we will have another project, adjacent to these projects which holds the "master poms".

Oh, I'm waiting for something like this too. This seems like an absolute necessity.
