Good day to you, Ravi,
AFAIK, you cannot exclude a module from your build. However, what you can do
is to include modules.
Thus, you could simply create something like..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<project>
...
<modules>
<module>module3</module>
<module>module4</module>
</modules>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>cpp-qa</id>
<modules>
<module>module1</module>
<module>module2</module>
</modules>
</profile>
</profiles>
...
</project>
This would then build modules module3 and module4 by default, unless you
specify -Pccp-qa so that modules module1 to module4 gets build.
But if you want your default build to include module1 and module2, and
simply exclude them on certain occassions, then you can do something like...
<project>
...
<modules>
<module>module3</module>
<module>module4</module>
</modules>
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<property>
<name>!exclude-cpp-qa</name>
</property>
</activation>
<modules>
<module>module1</module>
<module>module2</module>
</modules>
</profile>
</profiles>
...
</project>
The pom above builds modules module1 to module4 by default ( since by
default, the property exclude-cpp-qa is not defined ), and will build
modules module3 and module4 only if exclude-cpp-qa is defined ( i.e. mvn
clean install -Dexclude-cpp-qa ).
See [1] and [2] for more info.
Cheers,
Franz
