    <p>I have a large project which uses SWT on several different platforms like windows (32 and 64 bits), linux-gtk (32 and 64 bits) etc. The project has several modules in a simple structure:</p> <pre> project-parent +- core +- swt-bridge (uses SWT) +- module1 (uses swt-bridge module) +- module2 +- ... +- module17 (uses swt-bridge module) </pre> <p>I would like to be able to run my code from Eclipse on all the supported platforms. E.g. if I look at the <code>swt-bridge</code> module on a 32-bit Windows machine, it should have the 32-bit Windows SWT dependencies, and also have the required DLLs extracted to some directory which I can then add to <code>java.library.path</code>.</p> <p>I can specify different dependencies by defining profiles activated by <code>os.family</code> and <code>os.arch</code>.</p> <pre> &lt;profile> &lt;id>macos&lt;/id> &lt;activation> &lt;os> &lt;family>macosx&lt;/family> &lt;arch>x86&lt;/arch> &lt;/os> &lt;/activation> &lt;properties> &lt;swt.native.groupId>org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx&lt;/swt.native.groupId> &lt;swt.native.artifactId>x86&lt;/swt.native.artifactId> &lt;swt.native.version>3.5.1&lt;/swt.native.version> &lt;/properties> &lt;/profile> </pre> <p>I can also use the <code>maven-dependency-plugin</code> to extract any DLLs, .so files from the SWT JAR to <code>target/swtlib</code>, and use them from Eclipse.</p> <p>This works fine if I put the profiles in the <code>swt-bridge</code> module. But this way I cannot see the properties set by the active profile from other projects, so e.g. I cannot use the dependency plugin with these properties (which I would like to).</p> <p>I thought I could solve this by moving the profiles to the parent POM, and indeed, if I build the whole product, it works. But this way I cannot just build one module, because Maven will complain about missing properties.</p> <p>I'm pretty sure many people face this problem, so there must be a way to handle this properly in Maven. Can anyone tell me what it is?</p>

    1. COAm I right assuming that you have a real maven projects inheritance (i.e. subproject pom contains <parent> element with corresponding parent project coordinates) and says that single child module can't be built because of missing properties?

    2. COYes, there are the proper pointers to <parent>. Does anything say that I'm not allowed to build a module on its own this way?

    3. COWell, Maven documentation says the following: 'When a project specifies a parent, it inherits the information in the parent project's POM. It can then override and add to the values specified in this parent POM'. I.e. your child project is assumed to see parent project properties. I just checked that if the parent project defines an activated profile and it is activated, maven build for child project sees correct properties from it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
