Command line -f option should propagate to module poms.
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3150
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3150
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Command Line
Reporter: Paul Gier
I have a multi module project where I would like to have parrallel builds. The
default pom.xml build would be using jdk1.5 or jdk6, and the parrallel build
pom would be for creating retro compiled jdk14 artifacts. So the pom for this
build would be "pom-jdk14.xml". I've explored other options such as using a
classifier for the retro translated artifact, and using profiles to choose
between jdk1.5 and jdk1.4 builds. But both of these have problems that I can't
get around without a lot of difficulty.
Using two separate poms works great for me for a single module project, but for
a multi module project, I have no way to tell the modules to pick up a
different pom.xml file.
So for my multi module build I would like to be able to say
mvn -f pom-jdk14.xml install
And each module should then look for it's own pom-jdk14.xml. This could be
made into the default behaviour of the "-f" option, or a new option could be
introduced like "-fg" to use the other pom file globally across all the module.
