java - maven multi-module artifact deployment -

i have multi-module maven project parent builds modules , child pom aggregators handle config file deployments.

i able deploy bundles via mvn clean deploy parent module; however, fails attach config-files specified in build-helper plugin section of child module.

this requires me run mvn -f <child-module> clean deploy each child pom has configuration artifacts. true artifacts such features.

here example of pom files like:

parent

<project>     <groupid>com.sample</groupid>     <artifactid>parent</artifactid>     <version>1.0-snapshot</version>      <modules>         <module>child</module>     </modules> </project> 

child

<project>     <parent>         <groupid>com.sample</groupid>         <artifactid>parent</artifactid>         <version>1.0-snapshot</version>     </parent>      <artifactid>child</artifactid>      <build>         <plugins>             <plugin>                 <groupid>org.codehaus.mojo</groupid>                 <artifactid>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactid>                 <executions>                     <execution>                         <id>attach-config-file</id>                         <phase>install</phase>                         <goals>                             <goal>attach-artifact</goal>                         </goals>                         <configuration>                             <runonlyatexecutionroot>true</runonlyatexecutionroot>                             <artifacts>                                 <artifact>                                     <file>properties.cfg</file>                                     <type>cfg</type>                                     <classifier>properties</classifier>                                 </artifact>                             </artifacts>                         </configuration>                     </execution>                 </executions>             </plugin>         </plugins>     </build> </project> 

what attach-artifact goal executed on each child module without having write custom batch script execute these individually. deploying archiva repository.

remove or change false runonlyatexecutionroot property.

if set true then: "this cause execution run @ top of given module tree. is, run in project contained in same folder mvn execution launched."

probably not finding cfgs files.
