Description desmond_kirrane 2015-10-15 12:00:20 UTC 
When I add this pom property to the parents pom.xml

<netbeans.hint.licensePath>${project.basedir}/licenseheader.txt</netbeans.hint.licensePath>

The child poms projects do not pick it up and use the parents license header.
Comment 1 Tomas Stupka 2016-06-23 09:49:12 UTC 
the property is honored and resolved by maven in the scope of the particular child module
${project.basedir} points then to {child.module.basedir}

try instead ${project.parent.basedir}
