multiproject and jelly variables

Hi,

how are variables handled in multiproject?

When I set a variable and call goals in subprojects, the variable seems to
be ignored:

<goal name="gc:test-cactus">
<!-- skip JUnit tests -->
<j:set var="maven.test.skip" value="true" />
<j:set var="cactus.test.skip" value="false" />

<maven:reactor
    basedir="."
    banner="Cactus testing project ...."
    includes="*/*/project.xml"
    excludes="./project.xml"
    postProcessing="false"
    goals="cactus"
    ignoreFailures="${maven.multiproject.ignoreFailures}"/>
</goal>

Inside the subprojects the maven.test.skip is false. (There are no
properties files with maven.test.skip). Why?

BTW, how are property files evaluated with respect to multiproject?
Properties in subprojects override properties in root project? And what
about "default" values that are stored in plugin properties?

Is there any documentation about this topic?

Thank you, Jan

Each project has it's own set of variables.

Do the subprojects extend the project where this is being set up?

As the subprojects don't provide a value for maven.test.skip, the
value from the test plugin is used.

If you really want to override maven.test.skip for all projects, set
the system property, using:

${systemScope.put('maven.test.skip', 'true')}

Does http://maven.apache.org/reference/properties.html help?
