I'd suggest you use a CI system such as Jenkins for that purpose: Jenkins parses the pom.xml files on Maven projects and automatically detects dependencies between jobs. If you start a certain job, Jenkins automatically triggers builds on all dependent subjobs, quite similar to what you want to achieve. I'd recommend to install the Upstream Downstream Column Plugin that adds two quite useful columns to Jenkins' job list: one that lists all "parent" jobs, and another with all subjobs as far as Jenkins has detected them.
