BOM per sub-project for multi-project builds (Java)

[ajmalab]

Hi,

Currently passing in GRADLE_MULTI_PROJECT=true or --recursive generates a single sBOM for the entire project. It would be useful to have an option to generate 1 sBOM per project in a multi-project build or a monorepo. Have you guys considered this?

Hello,

we noticed options.multiProject is hardcoded to true whenever a projectType is chosen.

Since we have the need to generate various javascript bom within our project we couldn't do this despite the recurse option not being used.

To test this I forked the repo and removed the hardcoded option: options.multiProject = true;

I can't understand why it was decided to hardcode this option.

Thank you in Advance for you answer and for your amazing job.

@dorjecurreli, sorry about this. I must have gotten lazier when I tried to close #141

We will implement support for --no-recursive or -nr shortly and keep the recursive mode default so it's not a breaking change.

@dorjecurreli, #395 is ready for your review. This ticket, however will remain open since it is about creating separate BoM per sub-project.
