--------------------------------
Summary: Resume reactor build after skipped project using -pl !X
-rf X combination
Key: MNG-6676
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6676
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.6.1
Reporter: Markus Karg
With huge multi-module builds sometimes it would come handy if Maven would have
a "skip-this-and-resume" option. For example, you have hundreds of sub modules
built fine, but one of them is heavily broken; due to your current task you
want to ignore that one project just for now, and repeat the reactor build
*after* the broken one. Due to the heavily long multi-hours time your already
spent, you do not want to start from the beginning.
A nice syntax for this would be the combination "-pl !X -rf X" which means:
"Resume *after* X".
At the moment this is not working, as "-pl X" removes X from the project list,
so "-rf X" says it cannot find X. The fix should be that "-pl X" *keeps* X on
the project list but marks it explicitly as *SKIPPED*, so "-rf X" *finds* X,
but detects that it is to be SKIPPED, so it resumes with the next-in-list.
