Maven building only changed files

Lets say i have module structure like below 

     Modules
       ->utils
       ->domain
       ->client
       ->services
       ->deploy (this is at the module level)

Now to lauch the client i need to make a build of all the modules, i.e utils, domain, client, services, because i am loading the jars of all the above modules to fianlly lanch the client

And all the jars gets assembled in the module deploy.

My question is if i change anything in services for example, then is there a way when running a build from deploy maven could recognise it has to build only services and hence build it and deploy it in deploy folder?

Solution

  • If you are using SVN and *nix, from the root module

    mvn install -amd -pl $(svn st | colrm 1 8 | sed 's /.*  ' | xargs echo | sed 's- -,:-g' | sed 's ^ : ')
