-----------------------------------

             Summary: --projects flag should honor --non-recursive flag
                 Key: MNG-7112
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7112
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Reactor and workspace
    Affects Versions: 4.0.x-candidate
            Reporter: Martin Kanters


In MNG-6981 and MNG-7102 the behavior around selecting aggregate projects has changed.
Now, when an aggregate is (de)selected, the aggregate project and all its children will be (de)selected in the reactor.
Before, just the aggregate was (de)selected and children were not taken into account.

Because there is no good workaround currently and there is a need for it, we should offer a way to bring the old behavior back.

{{\-N}} or {{\--non-recursive}} is currently used to only select one project, and it will not take its children into account during project collection (before the reactor flags are applied).

After discussion on the mailing list, the proposed implementation is to use {{\--non-recursive}} together with {{\--projects}} to restore the old non-recursive behavior we had before.
