Martin Kanters commented on MNG-6981:
-------------------------------------
I agree that -pl with -amd can result in too big reactors, I'm just not sure
whether we would want to introduce a complex syntax for this.
Your proposal syntax is quite understandable, but something we have to keep in
mind is that it should be reasonably predictable for a user what the result
would be when this syntax would be mixed with for example the -rf or regular
-am/-amd flags.
I'm doubting if, for such complex project setups, it would not be easier to
just make a long list of -pl entries.
> 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.
