How to move the of a multi-module project?
Hi All,
I have a multi-module project in the /home/me/projects/grandfather like this:
grandfather
|
|---- pom.xml
|
|---- father
|
|---- pom.xml
|
|---- son
|
|---- pom.xml
If I build that project, I will have these target directories: /home/me/projects/grandfather/target, /home/me/projects/grandfather/father/target and /home/me/projects/grandfather/father/son/target.
Is there anyway to modify only 1 pom.xml (it doesn't matter if it is grandfather's or father's or son's) so that the target directories are /tmp/grandfather/target, /tmp/grandfather/father/target and /tmp/grandfather/father/son/target?
Regards.

You can't do exactly what you are aiming to do dynamically but you could
hard code that structure into your pom's.
Look into the property;
project.build.directory
If you defined that in the respective pom's as below;
project.build.directory=/tmp/grandfarther/target
project.build.directory=/tmp/grandfarther/farther/target
project.build.directory=/tmp/grandfarther/farther/son/target
in the respective pom's you could create the structure your after.
Because grandfarther, farther, son are arbitrary directory names and maven
doesn't care what it's currently directory name is and only modules
configuration only needs to point to a directory with a pom in.
Another question is why do you want/need this structure as i often find the
answer to that the real root cause.

So I'm guessing you then have mapped tmp to a ram drive, otherwise tmp will
still be on your SSD unless you also have a non-SSD too which is mapped to
tmp.
Honestly as long as it's a new ish SSD, your not writing GB and GB per hour
constantly 24/7, your SSD is under about 60% full then I would not worry
that much.
They are designed to wear the drive evenly which is an issue if you want to
get ride of the SSD as dban won't correctly scrub the disk as the disk lies
about which sector is being written too.
My development laptop is 12 months old with a 512GB SSD, about 50% full and
I'm doing several builds an hour, with one full clean install per hour and
I'm expecting it to last lots more years before it dies.

Thanks, John, for answering my question. There's no special reason, I have the project on a SSD drive and don't want to write to that so often.

So my question to this is: Why do want to do this? What's the reason to
use a folder outside the modules ? Can you explain your use case and why
you need it such that way and can't stuck with the conventions
project/target ?
Kind regards

So my question to this is: Why do want to do this? What's the reason to
use a folder outside the modules ? Can you explain your use case and why
you need it such that way and can't stuck with the conventions
project/target ?
