In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Maven to manage a Multi-module project containing four modules:
- Password module – Interface only.
- Password md5 module – Password module implementation, MD5 password hashing.
- Password sha module – Password module implementation, SHA password hashing.
- Web module – A simple MVC web app to hash an input with either MD5 or SHA algorithm.
The module dependency.
$ password
$ password <-- password-md5
$ password <-- password-sha
$ web <-- (password-md5 | password-sha) <-- password
Some commands to a build a multi-module project, for examples :
$ mvn -pl password compile # compile password module only
$ mvn -pl password-sha compile # compile password-sha module, also dependency - password
$ mvn -pl web compile # compile web module only
$ mvn -am -pl web compile # compile web module, also dependency - password-sha or password-md5, password
$ mvn -pl web jetty:run # run web module with Jetty
$ mvn compile # compile everything
Technologies used :
- Maven 3.5.3
- JDK 8
- Spring 5.1.0.RELEASE
- thymeleaf 3.0.10.RELEASE
1. Directory Structure
In a multi-module project layout, a parent project contains a parent pom.xml
and each sub modules (sub projects) also containing own pom.xml

The command for initializing project:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.favtuts.multi -DartifactId=java-multi-modules -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
2. Maven POM
Let review the Maven multi-module POM files.

8. Demo
8.1 In parent project, uses the standard mvn compile
to compile all the modules, Maven will decide the build order.
