How to build a full generated maven module

Question

I have this classical project tree:

project
  pom.xml

This pom.xml generates a full maven project with its own pom.xml like this:

project
  pom.xml
  generated-module
    pom.xml
    src
      ...

Is it possible to generate and buid this generated module with this simple command ?

mvn package

Have you tried doing `mvn package` ? – Tim Biegeleisen Jul 09 '15 at 05:33 — Tim Biegeleisen, Jul 09 '15 at 05:33

You need to add a modules decleration in your parent-pom.xml

<project
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"
        xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
        <groupId>myproject</groupId>
        <artifactId>PARENT</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
        <packaging>pom</packaging>
        <modules>
                <module>generated-module</module>
                <module>...</module>
        </modules>
</project>

the module-name is the artifactid of your child-project. – Martin Baumgartner Jul 09 '15 at 11:55
Sure, the problem is maven reactor is launched before build and it try to read pom.xml in 'generated-module' in order to determine build order, but 'generated-module' not exits! I think there is no good solution. I'll try with another way... – Nelson G. Jul 09 '15 at 22:38
Maybe you can use the gmaven-plugin to control your build. – Martin Baumgartner Jul 10 '15 at 08:08
