Overview

<project>
    ...
    <modules>
        <module>module1</module>
        <module>module2</module>
    </modules>
    ...
</project>

Each <module> element corresponds to a subdirectory of the top level project directory. Maven will look into these subdirectories for pom.xml files. Each module will have its own independent source hierarchy.

Organizatorium

• The modules do not need to specify their <groupId>, as it is inherited from their parent, and thus redundant.
