>                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4258
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
>            Reporter: Jörg Hohwiller

> With MNG-2576 the Make Reactor Mode was invented.
> However stated in MNG-3377 there is some disappointment about the solution:
> <cite>
> ... ask what's first maven users typical experience:
> You do "mvn install" on some module. Then maven starts working and says "oh, I need <foo> to be installed first".
> Then you "cd" around to <foo> and do "mvn install" and maven says "oh, I need <bar> to be installed first".
> In the end the users says "hey, why do I have to do all this, if maven has all information available in my POMs?
> ...
> However this can already be done with "--also-make-dependents" but maybe not in a way
> that users typically work.
> </cite>
> So what I suggest is that if "-amd" is specified without "-pl" then this is the same
> as cd ../../.... (or whatever up to root) and then doing
> mvn -amd -pl foo/bar/.... (all the way back)
> You might also prefer adding a new option for that.
