How does work maven:reactor?

[Eugene Kirin <ki...@mosinfo.ru>]

Please explain algorithm of work of maven:reactor. I have got 3 projects and I want that reactor runs their goals one after another. The structure is:
---------------------------
project1 (dir)
project2 (dir)
project3 (dir)

maven.xml
project.xml

---------------------------

I put in maven.xml the next:

<goal name="myGoal">
  <maven:reactor basedir="${basedir}"
      includes="*/project.xml"
      goals="release"
      banner="Building"
      ignoreFailures="false"/>
   </goal>

All projects have got "release" goal, but only project1 is started up. How makes "maven:reactor" execute project1 and project2?

note project.xml for all project is empty.

Eugene,

You do not need to specify your projects dependencies inside maven.xml.
Instead follow this approach:
    1.Create a master project e.g. myproject
    2.Create a project.xml for myproject
    3.Add project1, project2, and project3 as subdirectories of myproject
    4.Modify the project.xml of project1, project2 and project3 as such:
        <project>
          <extend>${basedir}/../project.xml</extend>
    5.Open a command window and run:
         maven multiproject:artifact
This will start the reactor and build all artifacts for all projects 
inheriting from myproject.

Hope this helps.
