This question is too simple to answer or too complex to be understood, otherwise I cannot explain why there are no answers.
I would choose a solution that uses a folder structure as shown below.
project folder |---pom.xml |---module1 |---pom.xml |---src |---module2 |---pom.xml |---src |---module3 |---pom.xml |---src
I would define a pom.xml project with pom packaging, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>1.2.7-RELEASE</version> <relativePath/> </parent> <groupId>com.myproject</groupId> <artifactId>project</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <modules> <module>module1</module> <module>module2</module> <module>module3</module> </modules> <name>MySupercoolProject</name> <description>What else?</description> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding> <java.version>1.8</java.version> <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> </properties> <dependencies> </dependencies> </project>
As you can see, the spring-boot-starter-parent will be the parent of your project.
Then pom.xml one of your modules will be, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>com.myproject</groupId> <artifactId>project</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <groupId>com.myproject</groupId> <artifactId>module1</artifactId> <packaging>war</packaging> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>Application</name> <description>SudenGut application</description> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding> <start-class>com.myproject.MyApplication</start-class> <java.version>1.8</java.version> <tomcat.version>8.0.24</tomcat.version> <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <!--- this will not be enough to provide a cool app :) --> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins </build> </project>
where the main application is MyApplication.java in the package com.myproject module1 .
I would use jar packaging for other modules without the main application if you don't have other submodules (i.e. pom packaging again).
