How to list active sub-modules in a Maven project?

Question

I have a complex project where there are many directories that have POM files, but only some of which are sub-modules (possibly transitively) of a particular parent project.

Answer 1

This is quite simple but it only gets the artifactId, from the root (or parent) module:

mvn --also-make dependency:tree | grep maven-dependency-plugin | awk '{ print $(NF-1) }'

If you want the directories

mvn -q --also-make exec:exec -Dexec.executable="pwd"
