Thanks for the suggestions! Multiple profiles seems like the easiest to setup, but incurs a little more maintenance.

                </profile>
        </profiles>
</project>

Now, I had several default launches (in Eclipse), that triggered e.g.:
- mvn -P person
- mvn -P person,geography
- mvn -P person,security-link

As you can see, some modules are defined in more than one profile, this should however be no problem. At least, it wasn't in maven 2.0.3 (or 2.0.2, not sure where we started) and I think it will still work in the latest version.

Good luck!

A workaround for this 'problem' could be to specify a couple (a lot?) of
profiles, that contain the modules you need to combine. You can then run
maven with the selected profiles, building only those modules you declared
in the profiles.
Personally, I'd at least make sure that all modules that have dependencies
to eachother are grouped inside a profile. Not necessary if your local or
remote repo has a version, but at least you won't be wondering why certain
changes 'don't work' when you forget to build a module!

Hi Richard,

As far as I know, Maven does not have direct support for what you want.

But lots of people have been asking for just this functionality recently.

See <http://www.nabble.com/Specify-a-dynamic-profile-t3754208s177.html>
for a discussion of some workarounds.

We have a good size multi-module build. To reduce the development cycle
time I would like to be able to say to Maven only include these modules
in the build. That way we could reduce the amount of time it takes to
build the project when testing only a single module. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Richard
