In Maven how can I recursively build -SNAPSHOT dependencies present in the filesystem but outside the reactor?

I have two projects as follows, in neighbouring directories on the filesystem:

I'd like to build project_b and for Maven to discover that project_a exists on the filesystem and thus build it rather than look in the local repo for its artifact.

I could build these within an aggregator and use the reactor to select project_b i.e.

mvn --projects project_b [goal]

However, this is problematic because

Is there a neat way I could get Maven to perform a recursive build that looks on the filesystem to find -SNAPSHOT dependency projects and builds them?

I needed this a while back and made a simple recursive wrapper cli in nodejs. https://github.com/kenglxn/mvnr/blob/master/README.md

Install from npm with

sudo npm install -g mvnr

Then just pass any maven command to mvnr, and it will run that command on all mvn projects under the cwd.

You could play with Maven Reactor plugin, e.g. try mvn reactor:make -Dmake.folders=foo,bar
