Reactor processing order

[Louis Burroughs <lb...@aholdusa.com>]

I am tring to build an ear file using Maven.  I have subprojects to build 
2 war files and an ear file.  The ear file has dependencies on the 2 war 
files.  When I execute using reactor, maven executes the subprojects in 
the order it finds them(alphabetically my ear subproject comes first) 
instead of based upon the dependency chain.  Beacuse the subprojects have 
not yet been installed in the repository, the build fails. 

Here is my maven.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="ipm:build-all" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:maven="jelly:maven">
        <goal name="ipm:build-all">
                <maven:reactor basedir="${basedir}" includes="*/project.xml" goals="ipm-dist" banner="Building" ignoreFailures="false"/>
        </goal>
</project>

Can someone explain to me how reactor determines the build order ?

ps- I am not familiar with werkz, I know there's a dependency there, but I 
have no idea whta it is

Thanks

the order is defined by dependencies. You need to run an :install goal
(eg jar:install) for the dependency to be put into the local repo
though).

eg. if B depends on A, A will always be built first. As long as the
goal you run installs it to the local repository, B will be able to
find the correct version of A. It will not read A's target directory
for the built JAR though.
