We have a multi-module Maven project consisting of a parent POM and 5 or more modules.

Each module can be deployed to a running server as part of the build if we act

Answer 1

If each of your modules will have it's own "auto-deploy" profile, and profile activation will be triggered by variables passed to mvn command, you will be able to run single mvn command on parent module and decide which modules should be deployed simply by declaring activation variables

    
        profileId
        
            
                profileIdEnabled
                true
            
        
        
    

and then

mvn -DprofileIdEnabled=true
