Knut Wannheden commented on MNG-6981:
-------------------------------------

I would be curious at how I can get the same results with the current Maven 
tool. Assume I have a reactor as follows:

- root
-- m1
--- m1-1
--- m1-2
-- m2

I would now like to build {{m1}} including descendants and {{m2}}. AFAIK I can 
only achieve this by using {{-pl :m1,:m1-1,:m1-2,:m2}} when running {{mvn}} 
against the {{root}} project or invoking Maven twice (as in {{mvn -f m1 && mvn 
-f m2}}).

> 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.
