[jira] Created: (MNG-2149) Why have aggregator projects? Can't we just add tags in normal pom.xml files and have them behave transitively?

Why have aggregator projects? Can't we just add <module/> tags in normal pom.xml files and have them behave transitively?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2149
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2149
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Wish

  Components: Reactor and workspace  
    Versions: 2.0.2    
    Reporter: David Boden
    Priority: Critical


At the moment, we have to have an aggregator xml file with <packaging>pom</packaging> in order to build multiple modules.

Why can't my ss_base_applet module contain:
<module>../ss_base_shared</module>

This would mean that whenever ss_base_applet was built, it built ss_base_shared too (taking into account the dependency definitions to work out the order).

There would, of course, need to be a command line switch to say ("don't build sub modules"). It already exists!
-N,--non-recursive            Do not recurse into sub-projects

Here's my current aggregator pom. I'd much prefer to define these transitively in the same way that I can define the dependencies transitively:
    <modules>
        <!-- Ensure that the parent pom is installed -->
        <module>../SSBuild</module>
        
        <!-- Modules shared between all SalesStation instances -->
        <module>../FET_S</module>
        <module>../ss_base_shared</module>
        <module>../ss_offering_shared</module>
        <module>../ss_offering_lib</module>
        <module>../ss_base_applet</module>
        <module>../sales_station_lib</module>
        <module>../sales_station_applet</module>
        <module>../SS</module>
        
        <!-- CDS modules -->
        <module>../cds_ss_shared</module>
        <module>../cds_ss_applet</module>
        <module>../cds_ss_lib</module>
        <module>../CDSSS</module>
        <module>../CDSSS-ear</module>
        
        <!-- EGB and Credit modules -->
        <module>../gov_ss_base_shared</module>
        <module>../gov_ss_base_applet</module>
        <module>../egb_ss_lib</module>
        <module>../credit_ss_lib</module>
        <module>../ss_cats_lib</module>
        <module>../ss_ecn_handler</module>
        <module>../egb_ss_ecn_handler</module>
        <module>../egb_ss_shared</module>
        <module>../egb_ss_applet</module>
        <module>../credit_ss_applet</module>
        <module>../credit_ss_shared</module>
        <module>../EgbSS</module>
        <module>../EgbSS-ear</module>
    </modules>

       Resolution: Incomplete
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.1)

Maybe just been at this too long today, but I don't se a request in here - it seems to be stating something that already works for you?
