Ignore missing goals when using reactor?
I'd like to use the reactor to execute goals across many projects, but
not have the build fail when a goal does not exist. That is, if a
sub-project doesn't have the required goal, just ignore that subproject
and move on.
The reactor has the ignoreFailures attribute, but that doesn't work for
me. I don't want to ignore goals that fail, just goals that don't
exist.
Has anyone solved this before?
Thanks,

It appears there was a reply already similar to this... I didn't mean to
repeat it... I'm playing around with my gmail POP settings :- ) and
didn't catch the previous reply...

One solution would be to have the sub projects inherit from a common
parent (probably where you are running your reactor from): see
http://maven.apache.org/reference/project-descriptor.html#extend
You can then have the goal in the parent maven.xml that does nothing.
Sub projects that want to do something overwrite the goal in their own
maven.xml.

Re: Ignore missing goals when using reactor?

long short, can you make all projects inherit a master project which
has your goal to do nothing. This way reactor will invoke the dummy
goal when it is not able to
find goal in the targeted project.
