Description

Since there is already a --non-recursive option a new --recursive option might be confusing, but let me explain my use case. I often use the -pl option and in a multi-module Maven project with more than just two "levels", I would like to be able to build a project (or set of projects) including all child-modules. This is, AFAIK, currently not possible and what I would like to use the new --recursive (or similar) option for.
