Currently in trunk, during the build process the thirdparty build step includes generating the dependency: | <maven:dependencies filesetId="pom.dependencies" | versionsId="pom.dependencies.versions" | scopes="compile, runtime" type="pom, jar, zip, war" | addArtifactFileSetRefs="true"> | <pom file="../thirdparty/pom.xml"/> | </maven:dependencies> | (Core) Maven has the option of using a custom pom file (instead of pom.xml) by specifying mvn -f my-overriden-pom.xml Would it be possible to allow something similar here in these tasks? Not just for thirdparty task but maybe other tasks too? So that if i want to override the pom.xml and build the AS then i could probably pass the file name as the param. P.S: I haven't checked the Branch_5_x, but if possible could this feature be allowed there too? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4242924#...
