Making resources defined in a superpom available to underlying poms.

I have a pom with packaging jar that contains a number of modules
(possibly nested). I have some resources that I want to be available to
all underlying poms . In my case it is a reference to a checkstyle
configuration file, but it could be anything (such as the stylesheet
used for javadoc generation). I have defined a property with the
_absolute_ path to this file in the top level pom, but is that the best
way to do it? I'd rather use a relative path (relative to the top
level), is that possible?

No, you just have to declare it in our parent pom.
Just try to see if it works...

Parent
  | --- module1
  | --- module2
  | --- ...
  | --- src
  |       | --- main
  |       |        | --- config
  |       |        |        | --- checkstyle.xml
  | --- pom.xml

I was hoping I could define the resource only once. If I understand you correctly, the plugin configuration below needs to be present in all poms?

Hi,

For checkstyle, you can follow this [1]

[1] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/customize.html
(cf. Use a custom developd Checkstyle Check modules)

or

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <configLocation>${project.parent.basedir
}/src/main/config/checkstyle.xml</configLocation>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>


The second solution is more generic and not specific for checkstyle.

HTH,

Rémy
