Yes, that's correct.

What I do is use the reactor tag in my maven.xml file and provide a
special goal ("dist-all"), as in:
<goal name="dist-all" description="Full build plus prerequisites">
<property name="goal" value="dist"/>
<attainGoal name="action-prerequisites"/>
</goal>
<goal name="action-prerequisites">
<reactor:execute
basedir="${toplevelproject.dir}"
glob="mysubproject/project.xml"
goals="${goal}"
banner="bla blah"
ignoreFailures="false"
/>
<attainGoal name="${goal}"/>
</goal>

No, these are good questions.
