Maven module properties from another module

I have a multi-module project. In one of the modules I'm generating classes from wsdl. In the pom of this module I need some properties of another module. (build.directory, outputDirectory etc)

It something like this possible?

${project.parent.module.0.build.directory}

I think I saw the above somewhere. Didn't bother testing it because doing module.0 would mean it's dependent on the order in which modules are declared in the parent pom.

Is there a elegant way of doing what I want?

The proper way to do this is to have a parent. Define the properties in there and then simply use that as the parent in your other modules. That way you can easily share the properties across your modules.

Maven doesn't provide this kind of access. You could use Groovy via GMaven to parse the other pom as XML and get at what you want.
