running builds, since multiple builds had to be run in order to build
the application as a whole - one or more per project. While the first
version (1.x) did indeed address this new multiple projects issue, it
did so as an afterthought. The Reactor was created to act as a sort
of <i>apply-to-all-these</i> function, and the multiproject plugin
was later added to provide Reactor settings for some common build
types. However, this solution (it <i>is</i> really only one solution,
plus some macros) really never integrated the idea of the
multi-project build process into the maven core conceptual
framework. </p>
