custom pom.xml filename in maven multimodule

Question

I have a maven3 multimodule project, and for a strange reason i need to customize POM filename for one of my child module (ie: module-pom.xml)

Is it possible to conf

Answer 1

I would suggest to change the folder structure into the following.

root (pom.xml)
  +-- closed-core
  +-- closed-web
  +-- closed-webserver
  +-- closed-spring
  +-- lgpl-reactor
         +-- lgpl-lib
         +-- lgpl-dist
         +-- lgpl-etc..

Than you don't need a separte module-pom.xml file. You can work with pom.xml as default.

If you wan't to build lgpl-reactory you can simply give:

mvn -pl lgpl-reactory clean package 

if you have dependencies within the other modules to lgpl you can use:

mvn -am -pl lgpl-reactory clean package 

This will build also all dependent modules.
