Multi-Module Maven Projects

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.
