Review Comment:
   So is the rule one maven project/subproject per module? My mental model is 
that there are sources for each module, including the unnamed module. The pom 
is describing how to produce jars. There is, I think, a 1:1 relationship 
between jars and modules although there can be multiple jars for the 
unamed/no-module case. So is the pom describing how to build one exactly one 
jar for one module?
   
   Again, documentation -- not code -- could help a lot here.
