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 the command I use for listing all pom.xml files inside a project at the root of the project.

find -name pom.xml | grep -v target | sort

What the command do :

find -name pom.xml what I search

grep -v target avoid to list pom.xml inside target/ directory

sort list the result in alphabetical order
