Hi all, I have asked the same question in Thread "[m2] parent pom", but nobody has answered, so usually it was going under ;-) I cannot belive, that I am the only one who's missing something like that!
The multi Project mechanismus is ok for real submodules, that never used in another context. Because the submodules must have a reference to the parent. I miss a possibility to define processGroups. (Using submodules without ONE parent.) Example: module A depends on module D module B depends on module D module D depends on module C So if i develop module A and A,B,C are SNAPSHOT'S I want to call compile, package, install... on a process/develop Group: <processGroup> <dependency> <groupId>myGroup</groupId> <artifactId>moduleA</artifactId> <version>1.o-SNAPSHOT</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>myGroup</groupId> <artifactId>moduleB</artifactId> <version>1.o-SNAPSHOT</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>myGroup</groupId> <artifactId>moduleD</artifactId> <version>1.o-SNAPSHOT</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> </processGroup> This is a small Example, the dependencies could be much more complex ;-) So a thing like a processGroup may be a very great way to save me time. Ok. i can write an shell or ant script doing that, but it would be nice if maven can do something like that. Do you understand me?
