How to set multi-module workingDirectory?

[Stanley Lee <ma...@gmail.com>]

I set up a parent module "Parent" and two child modules "Child1" and
"Child2".

I want to build Parent module and child modules differently -- for all child
modules, I need to run a specific plugin. So I set up a profile for child
modules and trigger it by checking file existance: target/checkout.

If I build child modules from their own directories, they runs fine.
However, If I build child modules from parent, Maven builds parent module
fine, but not child modules. My profile is not run because from parent
level, Maven doesn't see target/checkout

My question is: how can I make Maven build module at its own working
directory?

Thanks!

Hi Stan

I *think* this will be enabled as a new feature in 2.1 called
summarize:phase
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Atypical+Plugin+Use+Cases
I qualify with *think* because I have'nt seen the 2.1 release date yet
