You can use what I call a "builder POM". Create a pom.xml somewhere with
minimal entries and a module section ...
<modules>
<module>path to A</module>
<module>path to B</module>
</modules>
... and build from the location of this builder POM. You can give the pom a
different name if you start Maven with the -f option.
