I have a Maven aggregate (parent) project with three child modules. One of these modules is an Android project that can be deployed to a device emulator. I'd like to be able to run 'mvn clean install android:deploy android:run' from my top-level parent project and have it run 'mvn clean install' on ALL child modules and 'mvn android:deploy android:run' on ONLY my Android module. I need to be able to run all of the maven commands from one line in order to integrate with a continuous integration suite.
Is there a way to do this (either with a special configuration in my POM files or by passing in specific command line arguments)?
I tried following the instructions here: Maven profile for single module. I setup two profiles (one containing all modules, and one containing only my Android module) and running something like 'mvn -Pall clean install -Pandroid android:deploy android:run' but Maven wasn't capable of parsing different profile arguments for different targets.
Thanks very much.
