Coming from a very c++ centric world with makefiles, trying to figure out a bunch of issues for a very large project, i.e. many modules/projects.
a mvn clean command at the top level project gives me a list of projects in sequence that mvn will compile, and not in the order they are listed in the pom file. Which is good, however, * Which plugin produces the list of projects that need to be compiled ? Is this mvn proper or the reactor plugin ? * I need to modify the output of this command get the artifact id instead of / in addition to the project's descriptive name. * I am currently using "-Dmake.printOnly -DskipTests clean" to just get this list. Any other way to get this list ? I need the above to aid in the tools I am building to help make deploying a multi/many module project easier. The problem I am having is with dependencies and hardening of pom files, etc. and trying to reduce the amount of time spent on a release by automating as much of the process as possible. If I cannot get the artifactId instead of the project name in this output, then I have to keep my own mapping, which can be error prone and go out of date, etc. Would rather generate this via maven.
