Knut Wannheden commented on MNG-6981:
-------------------------------------
I could try the -amd flag together with -pl. My worry is just that it will end
up including way too many projects in other "branches" of my reactor tree.
Sometimes I have been thinking if the -pl option should instead allow an
expression language for more advanced use cases. Much like the '!' it already
allows, but to express all the different axes. So e.g. {{-pl
'a,rec(b),am(c),amd(rec(d))'}}. This example is of course exaggerated, but I
hope it conveys the idea.
> Add --recursive option

> Key: MNG-6981
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6981
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Command Line
> Affects Versions: 3.6.3
> Reporter: Knut Wannheden
> Priority: Major
>
> Since there is already a {{\--non-recursive}} option a new {{\--recursive}}
> option might be confusing, but let me explain my use case. I often use the
> {{-pl}} option and in a multi-module Maven project with more than just two
> "levels", I would like to be able to build a project (or set of projects)
> including all child-modules. This is, AFAIK, currently not possible and what
> I would like to use the new {{\--recursive}} (or similar) option for.
