Removing some modules in a maven profile

[Ashish Srivastava <as...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
   I have say a few modules defiled in the parent pom.xml as:
<modules> 

   <module>a</module>
   <module>b</module>
   <module>c</module>
</modules>

I want the default profile builds the entire module list but create a new profile that say only builds a and b but not c. I have seen a thread where adding a module is suggested in a profile instead of removing (excluding) one. I tried to give module a and b in the profile and still mvn built everything, I guess because it builds the parent list first (?). Is there a way to accomplish this? 


Thanks for your help,

I have seen this accomplished through the use of profiles and defining the modules within the profile.

You can do this if you merely think in opposite terms. Your parent
should only include A and B. Your profile should include C.

Then you build "normal" when you want to only build A and B, and
activate the profile to include C.
