-------------------------------------
Summary: Direct Maven Command Line To Run Without Projects
Key: MNG-7207
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7207
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Command Line
Affects Versions: 3.8.1
Reporter: Robert Krajewski
It would be nice to direct Maven to skip finding a default project to run so
that it did not attempt to use a project for goals that were intended to be
without a project.
This is useful for both the “Maven as command line tool” use case and the
embedded use of Maven goals for getting things done without reference to any
project that might be in the current directory, because unexpected things can
happen if a project is present in the current directory.
For example, I wrote a command that uses Maven to allow off-line usage of our
product’s artifacts, and ran into this issue when I tried running the command
in a directory that had a pom.xml in completely unrelated to what I wanted to
do. The workaround was to create an empty temporary directory and then run mvn
with that as the current directory.
I am not sure how this should be designed. One possibility is a flag or boolean
option as an entirely new option. Another would be override f/file somehow in a
way that doesn’t break expectations.
This option does not appear in
