A Leiningen plugin for inheriting properties from a parent project.
This plugin is useful when you have a series of related projects that all share some set of properties and want to avoid duplicating the values across projects. e.g. you have several projects that all share the same Maven private repository information.
lein-parent is the conceptual reverse of lein-sub.
Put [lein-parent "0.2.1"] into the :plugins vector of your project.clj.
Specify a parent in your project.clj and which properties to inherit from it as follows.
:parent-project {:path "../project.clj"
:inherit [:dependencies :repositories [:profiles :dev]]
:only-deps [org.clojure/clojure com.stuartsierra/component]}
Inherited properties may be either keywords or sequences of keywords. These values are used to select which properties from your parent to merge into your project. To select only specific dependencies, specify the first part of the dependency atoms in a sequence with :only-deps. To see the actual values of these properties, run:
$ lein parent
