Description

I found out about maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory on Stackoverflow. This looks useful, but unfortunately there seems to be no documentation.

Could maybe be added in one of these locations:

• https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Maven+Properties+Guide
• http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.6.0/maven-model-builder/#Model_Interpolation

Suggestion:

maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory - "The root directory of the multi module build. Also set for single module builds. Since Maven 3.3.1"
