Hi, apart from the awkward project setup (moduleC not pointing to the same parent), it looks like a potential bug to me. What Maven does is looking for the dependencies of the listed projects. You're pointing to the root pom, which has only a dependency on junit, not on any of the multimodule projects. Next it will look more modules that use any of the listed projects. ModuleA and ModuleB have a parent pointing to the root.
The missing step seems to be that their dependencies should be respected too. In general you would use -pl to point to an artifact providing project, not an aggregator, but it might be useful. So -pl ModuleA or -pl ModuleB or -pl ModuleC all work as expected. thanks, Robert On 27-12-2019 08:25:42, Kypros Chrysanthou <chkyp...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello, I'm sorry for double-posting.
