Apache Maven 3 Cookbook

Software Engineering Techniques
Let's have another look at the parent POM file; we should see both the sub-modules included:
moduleJar
moduleWar
Our overall project structure should look like this:
MyLargeModularApp
├───MyModuleJar
│ └───src
│ ├───main
│ │ └───java
│ │ └───net
│ │ └───srirangan
│ │ └───packt
│ │ └───maven
│ └───test
│
└───java
│
└───net
│
└───srirangan
│
└───packt
│
└───maven
└───MyModuleWar
└───src
└───main
├───resources
└───webapp
└───WEB-INF
How it works...
Compiling and installing both sub-modules (in the correct order in case sub-modules are
interdependent) is essential. It can be done in the command line by navigating to the parent
POM folder and running the following command:
$ mvn clean install
Thus, executing build phase on the parent project automatically gets executed for all its child
projects in the correct order.
