Jigar Joshi created MNG-5535:
--------------------------------
Summary: support sparse build
Key: MNG-5535
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5535
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Bootstrap & Build, Dependencies
Environment: maven 3.1
Reporter: Jigar Joshi
Priority: Minor
h2. background
I have maven project structure of around 220 projects in a big maven hierarchy,
to build some I don't need to build all of them but only some which are really
required via dependency reachout
for example
{code}
root
|
|---a
| |---a1 (needs b1)
|
|---b
| |---b1 (needs b2)
| |---b2 (needs nothing)
|
|---c
{code}
In My case I am using assembly plugin to create fat jar of a1 which includes
a1,b1,b2 and some other third party jars
what I have to do now is
clean install on b (module)
clean install -Ppackage on a (artifact)
package profile is configured to generate far jar packing b1, b2 & some third
party jars inside
this is just a minimal example
It would be great if maven could detect b1 & b2 (in this case) and installs
them first before packaging a1
Thanks!
