Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-1326:
------------------------------------
This is not what Maven was built to do. It can be implemented as a plugin or
extension, but won't be supported by default.
> Using CVS/CVN/etc. as source-code repository for Maven + having list of known
> projects.

> Key: MNG-1326
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1326
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Command Line, Reactor and workspace
> Reporter: Miks Rozenbergs
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> INTRODUCTION
> This feature is about Maven being able to automatically download source for
> dependent projects and compile them.
> The desired procedure would be to:
> 1. manually check out the project you wish to build
> 2. run maven on it
> Maven itself would then:
> 1. read through dependencies,
> 2. checkout each of the dependencies from Source Control system
> 3. for each checked out project, do step #1.
> This would for example solve the issue of re-build everything from an
> arbitrary node on dependency graph e.g. creating a hotfix for some big
> application.
> IMPLEMENTATION
> It would require to have a list of all known groupId/artifactId/version with
> they corresponding location. Maven would know the location of this list (it
> can be provided in settings.xml) and for each dependency it would check this
> list to see where to get the it's source.
