Description:
I'm trying to chain project.xml(s).

I have :

common/project.xml : base defs
common/project-development.xml : extends common/project.xml
someproject/project.xml : extends common/project-development.xml

I get the following error:

[ERROR] BUILD FAILED
[ERROR] File...... E:\Vma\Projets\Encours\ICOM\Icom\environment\tools\maven\plugins\maven-java-plugi
n-1.0\plugin.jelly
[ERROR] Element... javac
[ERROR] Line...... 54
[ERROR] Column.... 44
[ERROR] Reference maven.compile.src.set not found.
Total time: 6 seconds

What I would like to do is define the <extend> in the following way:

common/project-development.xml :
<extend>project.xml</extend>

someproject/project.xml:
<extend>../common/project-development.xml</extend>

Is that going to work ?
Are the paths always relative to the current project.xml or relative to the initial directory, in which case chaining will not work unless if I use absolute paths which I don't want ... :-)

Thanks
-Vincent
