Not exactly John - let me clarify by describing the whole situation.
Basically I have a directory structure like so:
top server dir/
frontend/
subsystem/
comp1/
comp2/
...
backend/
Same situation as the frontend
I want to be able to build the entire server up at the top. If I want
I would like to build the front end or the backend only because of the
amount of time it takes for the build. Likewise we can extend the same
case to the subsystem level or to the component level.
What is the best way for me to handle these 'convenience' builds at the
various levels using Maven?
If the reactor facility did not rebuild every time but only when one
was necessary due to changes to the project or to one of its dependencies
this would not be an issue or is this possible some how and I don't know
it.
