+ <question>Why isn't <i>installAtEnd</i> property working?</question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>
+ The <i>installAtEnd</i> property must be set consistently in all modules and the <i>skip</i>
+ property must be set consistently in all modules. If either property is not consistent, any
+ module with <i>installAtEnd</i> set to true will not be installed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ An alternative to using <i>installAtEnd</i> is to have the build script invoke Maven twice:
+<pre>
+ mvn verify
+ mvn install:install
+</pre>
