OK. I see the purpose of the <module> tag now. Instinctively, I would have applied that at the <project> level and mapped one project to one module (and built multiple modules as an aggregation of multiple projects)

One javac execution would compile many Maven subprojects at once. I don't think that this is so natural in Maven. Aggregated Javadoc is one of the few plugins doing that, and I have read in some JIRA or wiki that this is done with a hack not recommended for other plugins. > And I still don’t understand what the <module> sub-element of the <source> > tag is actually for. It map directly to the "module-name" part of the `--module-source-path module-name=directory" compiler option. This option is required for multi-module compilation. From a programmatic point of view, since the plugin uses javax.tools interface, it maps directly to the "moduleName" argument of the following method, which is invoked by maven-compiler-plugin 4.0.0-beta-3: https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.oracle.com%2Fen%2Fjava%2Fjavase%2F24%2Fdocs%2Fapi%2Fjava.compiler%2Fjavax%2Ftools%2FStandardJavaFileManager.html%23setLocationForModule&data=05%7C02%7C%7Caedd2b89e04245d947f908dd947955bd%7C2e9f06b016694589878910a06934dc61%7C0%7C0%7C638829971026477970%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Alv%2FZtLPrOO5NsP6P31JrTbMEoDimYyaFjIoAFEeJVI%3D&reserved=0(javax.tools.JavaFileManager.Location,java.lang.String,java.util.Collection)<https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/api/java.compiler/javax/tools/StandardJavaFileManager.html#setLocationForModule> Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
