project relative paths and the reactor

[Alex Karasulu <ao...@bellsouth.net>]

Steve,

 

I have a situation where I'm using a relative path to a test repository in
the project.properties file here:

 

maven.repo.remote = file:./testrepo/,http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/

 

If I run the reactor one level above the actual project it does not get the
relative directory.   So if the 

project is in the avalon-sandbox/repository/api directory and the reactor is
run one level

up in the avalon-sandbox/repository directory then I get failures accessing
the repository when I

run a test within the api directory.

 

How can I use a relative path above and have the test work when run by maven
in the repository 

directory as well as the api directory?

The only way is to anchor relative to ${basedir}.As the reactor works 
its way across the suite the ${basedir} value is updated relative to the 
base of the current target projet.
