When I run mvn clean, and look at the reactor order, it lists the build order for the modules in that particular project. That list does not include other projects for which the target project is dependent upon.
For example: Project A ---> module A ---> module B ---> module C Project B ---> module A ---> module B Module A of project A has a dependency on module B of Project B. When I ran mvn clean at the top level or project A, it lists the build order (e.g. module B, C, A of project A), but there is no mention of module B in Project B. Also, module B of project B may have a dependency on module A of a different (project C). The goal is to have an ordered list of the projects to be released. In this example Project C, then Project B, and then Project A. The reactor does not seem to provide that functionality. Maybe I am missing something.

That will tell you which projects you would have to release first. > -----Original Message----- > From: Pimentel, Robert [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 4:47 PM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: Plugin to determine release order for multiple projects > > Hello, > > We currently have about 40 different multi-module projects.
