        Key: MAVEN-440
    Summary: Reactor handles badly goals redefined in subproject
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Major

 Original Estimate: Unknown
 Time Spent: Unknown
  Remaining: Unknown

    Project: maven

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Florin Vancea

    Created: Thu, 22 May 2003 2:10 AM
    Updated: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 10:36 AM
Environment: W2k, JDK1.3.1, Maven from CVS HEAD (2003-May-21)

Description:
Context: several projects, aggregated under a master project. Each one performs well by itself. Master is running goals over children subprojects using simple reactor setup.

Problem: One of the subprojects redefines a "standard" goal in its maven.xml (I tested with "clean" and with "cactus"). That particular project runs fine, the very following one complains with "Unknown goal".

There is no way to run the reactor over the set without changing the logic that led to overwriting that goal. Of course one could (sometimes) rewrite the logic, but I believe that the reactor should run the subprojects in fully "encapsulated" contexts, even if this creates an additional time/space cost.

Using a sequence of <maven:maven> calls instead of the reactor produces similar results (+ one explicit UnknownGoalException ).

I believe also the problem is related to MAVEN-249 and MAVEN-231. 
I experienced also some other odd behavior which is not exactly the one described above, but all the above seem to have one common cause.

Yes, I think it's major (as reporters on above issues considered, too) because using the reactor is one (the only?) neat way to maintain large sets of dependent projects.

I'm sorry, I have no suggestion, solution or workaround: I did not dig _that_ deep into props/goals/jelly handling ;) 
If a "proof" setup is required, I can produce one.
