Description

I need to get effective pom of all modules in my multi-module project. Today this requires me to discover all modules manually and run effective pom on each of them.

For multi-module projects it would be great if I can run effective pom from top level and get an effective pom written to `${project.build.directory}/effective-pom.xml` of each module. 

Since effective-pom does not write to file by default maybe a reasonable usage would be to run:

mvn help:effective-pom -Doutput=target/effective.pom.xml

 

Maybe helpful: mvn dependency plugin lets you do it (with goals "list" or "collect").
