Herve Boutemy created MNG-7991:
----------------------------------
Summary: refactor aggregator goal
Key: MNG-7991
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7991
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Plugin API, Plugins and Lifecycle, Reactor and Workspace
Affects Versions: 4.x / Backlog
Reporter: Herve Boutemy
aggregation was added in early Maven 2 stages with MNG-250, not really
documented AFAIK
there are multiple shortcomings found over time:
* discrepancy between CLI and lifecycle use: CLI skips execution in
sub-modules, but not lifecycle
* forked lifecycle execution vs second execution in modules
* sometimes, instead of executing aggregate goal before building modules, it
would be useful to execute aggregate after building modules (to aggregate some
results built in each module)
notice that this looks also like the need for "execute at end" as found in
install/deploy
we probably need to better document what aggregate currently does and define
what should be the target: perhaps refactoring will require new mechanisms that
we won't call aggregator...
