Why have aggregator projects? Can't we just add <module/> tags in normal
pom.xml files and have them behave transitively?

Key: MNG-2149
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2149
Project: Maven 2
Type: Wish
Components: Reactor and workspace
Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: David Boden
Priority: Critical
At the moment, we have to have an aggregator xml file with
<packaging>pom</packaging> in order to build multiple modules.
Why can't my ss_base_applet module contain:
<module>../ss_base_shared</module>
This would mean that whenever ss_base_applet was built, it built ss_base_shared
too (taking into account the dependency definitions to work out the order).
There would, of course, need to be a command line switch to say ("don't build
sub modules"). It already exists!
-N,--non-recursive Do not recurse into sub-projects
Here's my current aggregator pom. I'd much prefer to define these transitively
in the same way that I can define the dependencies transitively:
<modules>
<!-- Ensure that the parent pom is installed -->
<module>../SSBuild</module>
<!-- Modules shared between all SalesStation instances -->
<module>../FET_S</module>
<module>../ss_base_shared</module>
<module>../ss_offering_shared</module>
<module>../ss_offering_lib</module>
<module>../ss_base_applet</module>
<module>../sales_station_lib</module>
<module>../sales_station_applet</module>
<module>../SS</module>
<!-- CDS modules -->
<module>../cds_ss_shared</module>
<module>../cds_ss_applet</module>
<module>../cds_ss_lib</module>
<module>../CDSSS</module>
<module>../CDSSS-ear</module>
<!-- EGB and Credit modules -->
<module>../gov_ss_base_shared</module>
<module>../gov_ss_base_applet</module>
<module>../egb_ss_lib</module>
<module>../credit_ss_lib</module>
<module>../ss_cats_lib</module>
<module>../ss_ecn_handler</module>
<module>../egb_ss_ecn_handler</module>
<module>../egb_ss_shared</module>
<module>../egb_ss_applet</module>
<module>../credit_ss_applet</module>
<module>../credit_ss_shared</module>
<module>../EgbSS</module>
<module>../EgbSS-ear</module>
</modules>
