Knut Wannheden commented on MNG-6981:
-------------------------------------
Another alternative for the reactor expressions would be to add a goal to an
existing plugin to evaluate such an expression. E.g. {{mvn verify -pl $(mvn
reactor:eval-expr "am(a,rec(b,c))")}}.
> 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.
