How to create a project having more than one module

[Rashid Jilani]

 

 

Hi: Can some one tell from where to start in order to build a project
with more than one module; I am sorry but Maven documentation is quite
confusing at least for beginners.

 

1.      Do I need to start with archetype; if this is true how to pass
parameters to archetype to create more than one module project.

 

2.      Or should I go and hand code a pom.xml file and then create the
directory structure manually?

 

Thanks,

Rashid.
