David,
Why not just create a new pom file at level1, rather than modifying an existing
one?
Something like this in pom-david-karr.xml:
<project>
<!-- snip -->
<modules>
<module>level2</module>
<module>level2/level3</module>
</modules>
</project>
Then, you just use the -f command line argument to get Maven to use a different
POM file.
mvn -f pom-david-karr.xml

It's only silly and arbitrary if you don't know the circumstances. In this
case, it's a reasonable compromise, and I'll leave it at that.
I can get this to work by simply having the build script manually run the
omitted module in the child module.
Thanks anyway.
