only building sub-modules if changed

Hi all,

 

I have a large multi-module build with alot of tests. It would be good
to split this out into separate builds, but i don't think the boundaries
are well enough defined between modules yet.

 

In the meantime, I'd like to only build a sub-module if the source has
changed, or a dependency has changed. Is this possible?

 

Thanks,

 

Rich

AFAIK, this is:

   - Not currently possible, short of doing all the work yourself.
   - A desired feature <http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2576> targeted
   for an upcoming Maven release.
