Add a CLI option to ignore missing modules
------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5085
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5085
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Bootstrap & Build
Reporter: Stephan Pauxberger
Using SVN for a rather big project, we tend to use SVN sparse checkouts, i.e.
we do not checkout the whole project. Example:
Full Project (as in Repository):
Parent
pom.xml (contains A and B as modules)
--> A
pom.xml
--> B
pom.xml
Now, do a checkout (svn co xxx --depth children; svn update --set-depth inifity
A)
Working Copy:
Parent
pom.xml (contains A and B as modules)
--> A
pom.xml
--> B (no pom!!, since we only did a sparse checkout)
Now, this setup is not buildable, since maven complains (rightfully) about a
missing pom for B.
What I propose is an option to change this behaviour with a command-line option
(-imm, --ignore-missing-modules) that would simply ignore missing modules
during pom resolution.
