Dependencies with a Multiproject

[Duncan Krebs <li...@krebsnet.com>]

Hi,
I have a multiproject setup that is used to build a webapp. I'm wondering if I should put the dependencies for the various projects in the root project.xml or keep each set of dependencies in the respective child project.xml. Is there a right way to go abuot this? Thanks. - Duncan

written any plugin for maven yet ..

Another way to do it is to factor out the common stuff into a separate 
subproject that is not itself built, but from which the other subprojects 
inherit (via <extend>).  That way the subprojects will still build in 
isolation, and you've separated out the root project's responsibility for 
controlling the multiproject build, from the responsibility of being the 
parent project containing all the common properties.

Hi,

I think it depends how modular you'd like to have your subprojects. If you
want to be able to pull out your individual projects and be able to build
them, then you might not want the dependencies in the main project file.
On the other hand, you reduce redundancy by placing as much info as
possible in the main project file. I've had to deal with this same
problem. If I want to build a subproject with maven, I have to checkout
the main project file, then checkout the project itself. To fix this for
developers using the source distribution, I have maven generate an ant
build file before distributing the source so users don't need to get the
main project.xml file and can build the source with ant rather than maven.
