How are modules specified in parent POM for recursive build?

Hi,

I have a multi-module project with one parent pom.  In my parent pom I 
have something like this:

<modules>
    <module>../moduleA</module>
    <module>../moduleB</module>
    <module>../moduleC</module>
    <module>../moduleD</module>
</modules>

In Continuum, I took off the -N parameter in the parent project so that it 
can build recursively from the parent, just like command line Maven 2.  I 
don't want the projects built individually.  I did a "Build Now" on the 
parent project and I got the following error:

[ERROR] FATAL ERROR
[INFO] 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM).


Project ID: unknown

Reason: Could not find the model file 
'C:\testapps\221\..\moduleA\pom.xml'.

This is obviously because in my parent POM I've specified the module name 
but Continuum needs to find the pom referenced by the project ID number 
that gets assigned.  So how do you get around this issue?  How do you 
specify the modules properly in the parent POM so that Continuum can find 
it?

For those who have gotten a recursive build to work, could I please know 
what your parent pom looks like and what the directory structure is?

Thanks.

Here is what I think you have

root
   parent
   moduleA
   moduleB
   moduleC

You need create a shell project where URL points to root and issue a build
definition

    mvn -f parent/pom.xml

Hi Mang,

You can't add a project with modules by upload, you need to provide an URL.
[1]

Moreover, your directory structure won't work, at least for the moment. [2]
You need to stick to the standard layout :
parent
|-- moduleA
|-- moduleB
|-- moduleC
`-- moduleD
