How to create a project having more than one module

[Rashid Jilani <ji...@lifebiosystems.com>]

 

 

Hi: Can some one tell from where to start in order to build a project
with more than one module; I am sorry but Maven documentation is quite
confusing at least for beginners.

 

1.	Do I need to start with archetype; if this is true how to pass
parameters to archetype to create more than one module project.

 

2.	Or should I go and hand code a pom.xml file and then create the
directory structure manually?

 

Thanks,

Rashid.

There's no archetype to generate a general multi-module project.
You can use the MyFaces archetype specifically to create a JSF component 
library project (multi-module).

See http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/MyFaces_Archetypes_for_Maven

Or, you could try out what this guy did to setup a J2EE project, which 
also has multiple modules.
