Suggestions about project structures and related items

[Ian Rowlands <Ia...@sro.vic.gov.au>]

Being relatively new to Maven and not finding much around about how things
are done "in the wild", I have a few questions about the best use of maven
in regard to multi-module projects and generating some of the artifacts:

1.  When you generate the website, an index.html is not generated by
default.  Is it possible to do this?  I know you can generate it by adding
the various site files (index.xml in the site/xml directory) but it would
be good to "tweak" something to do it.  It would also mean I wouldn't have
to have very similar files in each of the subprojects (which is what I have
at the moment).

2.  What is the "suggested" way to structure multi-module projects?  I know
two ways are that you can put the pom.xml in the "parent" directory - which
works if the only file in the parent project is that file (it isn't in my
case, because of the issue mentioned above).  The other is to have all
modules as "peers" (in terms of directory) and have one of the directories
as the "parent".  This works well with an eclipse environment, but I know
it has other issues - one of which is generating the website of the
"parent" so that it points correctly to its children.  I've tried tweaking
the links, but it hasn't really worked.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Regards,

Ian
