Jesse Glick commented on MNG-5059:
----------------------------------
Since it seems unlikely this will ever be worked on as a core feature, I wonder
if the equivalent functionality could be provided somehow from a plugin.
Something like
{code:none}
mvn test-compile something:also-make -Dalso.goals=test
-Dalso.projects=testedmod -Dtest=OneTest
{code}
> --also-make-phase

> {{--also-make}} (with {{--projects}}) is useful, but suffers from the problem
> that dependent projects are always built to the same goal/phase as the
> selected project(s). That is fine for e.g. {{compile}} or {{install}}, but
> not for e.g. {{test}} where you would only want to build {{compile}} (or
> {{test-compile}}) for dependencies, not actually test them.
> Suggest a variant form of this parameter (say {{--also-make-phase}} /
> {{-amp}}) which would accept a goal or phase to run on dependencies in place
> of the regular arguments. For example, to run a unit test after making sure
> all its dependencies have been (re-)compiled:
> {noformat}
> mvn -amp test-compile -pl testedmod test -Dtest=OneTest
> {noformat}
> or to run an (unpacked) web application after (re-)compiling libraries it
> uses:
> {noformat}
> mvn -amp compile -pl webapp jetty:run
> {noformat}
> You might want to pass a goal rather than a phase, so the name could be
> misleading, but I think that would be a rarer use case. Ditto passing
> multiple goals/phases for the upstream projects.
