the doc about the way to reference third-party packages in monorepo.json is wrong

[stof]

It says that you should use the path relative to the root of the repo, but this is wrong. the actual expectation is to use 'vendor/'.$composerPackageName:

composer-monorepo-plugin/src/main/Monorepo/Build.php

Line 193 in 373f20d

$name = $composerJson['name'];

While this matches the composer default installation path, there might be many reasons to have a different path:

• using a different name for the vendor dir
• using the target-path property in the package
• using a custom installer generating a different path

[stof]

Btw, the MonorepoInstaller class actually expects the name to be the installation path for all packages, which means that the plugin is probably incompatible with use cases mentioned above.

Isn't vendor/symfony/symfony relative to the root of the repo? That at least what i mean here.

Currently only working with the default vendor/ is supported.

[stof]

@beberlei half of the code expects the installation path, and half of the code expects 'vendor/'.$composerPackageName (which might be the same, but might be totally different).
In the case of symfony, it is indeed the same, because it does not match any of the conditions I listed above.
