I have two projects as follows, in neighbouring directories on the filesystem:
* project_a (-SNAPSHOT) * project_b (-SNAPSHOT, depends on project_a) I'd like to build project_b and for Maven to discover that project_a exists on the filesystem and thus build it rather than look in the local repo for its artifact. I could build these within an aggregator and use the reactor to select project_b i.e. mvn --projects project_b [goal] However, this is problematic because * this two-project example is a simplification of my real build, which consists of dozens of projects, and I don't want to have to maintain an aggregator project that lists all of them. * I only want to recursively build -SNAPSHOT dependencies Is there a neat way I could get Maven to perform a recursive build that looks on the filesystem to find -SNAPSHOT dependency projects and builds them? I'm familiar with Maven plugin development, but haven't yet found any clues toward a solution in the Maven / Aether documentation.
