Knut Wannheden commented on MNG-6981:
-------------------------------------
The way I understand your PR is that it changes -pl to be recursive by default,
which I think is great. Personally I don't need any non-recursive alternative,
but for those who might, I suppose one caveat is that there is now no way to
get the equivalent of -pl a,b with a single build, unless -f can be repeated or
accepts multiple values or the combination of -pl and --non-recursive is
supported.
> 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.
