Finding the root directory of a multi module maven reactor project

Question

I want to use the maven-dependency-plugin to copy artifacts from all sub-modules of my multi-module project to a directory that is relative to the root directory of the enti

Answer 1

so that: somewhere in properties of some parent Project I've the file which i need to relate later, what's why i need absolute path on it everywhere. So, i get it with help of groovy:

    
 import java.io.File; 
        String p =project.properties['env-properties-file']; 
        File f = new File(p); 
        if (!f.exists()) 
        { 
           f = new File("../" + p); 
          if (!f.exists()) 
          { 
             f = new File("../../" + p); 
          } 
        } 
        // setting path together with file name in variable xyz_format 
        project.properties['xyz_format'] =f.getAbsolutePath() 
                            + File.separator 
                            + "abc_format.xml"; 

   

and then:

  
     http://localhost:8081/snapshots
     http://localhost:8081/releases
     jdbc:oracle:thin:sonar/sonar@localhost/XE
     sonar
      ${xyz_format}  <---- here is it!
    

it works!
