Jigar Joshi created MNG-5535: -------------------------------- Summary: support sparse build Key: MNG-5535 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5535 Project: Maven 2 & 3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: Bootstrap & Build, Dependencies Environment: maven 3.1 Reporter: Jigar Joshi Priority: Minor
h2. background I have maven project structure of around 220 projects in a big maven hierarchy, to build some I don't need to build all of them but only some which are really required via dependency reachout for example {code} root | |---a | |---a1 (needs b1) | |---b | |---b1 (needs b2) | |---b2 (needs nothing) | |---c {code} In My case I am using assembly plugin to create fat jar of a1 which includes a1,b1,b2 and some other third party jars what I have to do now is clean install on b (module) clean install -Ppackage on a (artifact) package profile is configured to generate far jar packing b1, b2 & some third party jars inside this is just a minimal example It would be great if maven could detect b1 & b2 (in this case) and installs them first before packaging a1 Thanks!
