RE: how can I change ${basedir} for cvs updates

[Maxwell Grender-Jones <MG...@email.com>]

I am trying to use the reactor to build a number of projects. I would
also like to be able to use the reactor to do cvs updates on them.

To avoid cluttering, my project.xml, maven.xml and project.properties
files all sit in a maven/ subdirectory of each project, and so when
maven is run on them ${basedir} refers to maven/. However, this means
that when I try to run a cvs update, it only updates the maven/
directory, and as far as I can see, there is no way to do a cvs up ../

Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Ideally, I'd set ${basedir}
to be ../, but if there's some way of telling the scm plugin to do
updates from a parent of the current directory, that would be an
acceptable alternative.

Many thanks,

Max
