["Luuk van den Broek (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

     [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5230?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Luuk  van den Broek updated MNG-5230:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: MNG-5230-maven-integration-testing.patch
                MNG-5230-maven-core.patch

I have written a small patch that adds exclusion support by prefixing with '!', similar to profiles.

For example, mvn install -pl 'sub-a,!sub-b' -amd, would exclude project "sub-b" from the reactor.

> Every now and then I want to exclude one or more modules from a rather large reactor build.
> One reason for this can be: The respective module has tests that take long time to execute and I know that I don't need to execute them.
> Introducing yet another profile for this is not desirable for various reasons.
> So, something like an opposite to -pl would come in handy. Let's say "-el" for "exclude list".
> Example:
> {code}
> root
>   + module a
>     + module a1
>     + module a2
>   + module b
>     + module b1
>   + module c
> {code}
> Calling _mvn -el a1,c_ would build all modules execpt a1 and c.
