Parent Directory
Hello.
Is there a Maven property that points to the projects root directory?
It may be not elegant to let the sub-modules know about the directory of
their parent module, but I have several centralized configuration files
(e.g. for log4j and tomcat) stored in the root-modules directory and I
want that all subprojects access them.
I tried ${basedir} but apparently it just points to the current working
directory, so it changes for every submodule.
Thanks for any hints!
Greetings,
Marcus

Hi,
Why not release these shared configuration files as another module, and let
other modules depend on it?

This is a frequent question, and the answer is no: there's no (Maven)
way to refer to a parent or root directory from within a module.
