Thanks Jörg - I'll keep that in mind for a fallback. For a hacky maven3 modification towards Robert's <module>def:.full-module- list.txt</module> I have found:
https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/project/MavenProject.java#L1480 It looks like that method can modify module/sub-project lists. And that's where I'm going to play around. The method is marked as to-delete for Maven 4+, but that's not going to stop me I don't think. - Paul On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 11:26 AM, Jörg Schaible < joerg.schai...@bpm-inspire.com> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Paul Hammant wrote: > > > OK, so I'm a documenter of Google's Monorepo (one biiiig ass trunk) and > > it's usage of shell scripts to subset the checkout for speedy > development: > > > > http://paulhammant.com/2014/01/06/googlers-subset-their-trunk/ > > https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/monorepos/ > > > > For Maven to be used with a scripted use of Subversion or Git's > > sparse-checkout (or Perforce's client spec), it'd been to be more like > > Bazel/Blaze or Buck, in that sub-modules are *not* forward declared, they > > are discovered/calculated/inferred somehow. > > > > In pom.xml instead of - > > > > <modules> > > <module>one</module> > > <module>two</module> > > </modules> > > > > We'd need - > > > > <modules> > > <search>recursively</search> > > </modules> > > > > Or - > > > > <modules> > > <defined-in>.full-module-list.txt</defined-in> > > <!-- made by > > find . -name "pom.xml" | sed 's/\/pom.xml//' > > > .full-module-list.txt > > after the sparse-checkout modification of working copy --> > > </modules> > > > > Thoughts? > > > > Any questions? > > > > - Paul H > > > > PS - I'm a solid Maven user since 2003. > > we did something like that just with bash scripts and it boils down to to a > simple shell function.
