Should work. The module elements content actually points to the location of the pom.xml in the module. I have found though that maven 2 doesn't seem to be 100% happy with this 'flat' project layout. I'd have to dig around in my POMs to remember exactly what the issue was, but some builds that will work if you run the module's POM directly seem to get confused about directory traversal when invoked as a sub build of a higher level module. IIRC some brain surgery was required to force everything to look in the right places.

I'm trying to set up a project from scratch using Maven 2, m2eclipse
0.0.9, and Eclipse 3.2. I'm starting by working with the Quick Start to
understand how a project with multiple modules should be structured to
accommodate both systems.
I understand that while Eclipse 3.2 now supports sub-projects, the Maven
plugin doesn't. I tried to follow the example in Better Builds with
Maven, but it looks like the J2EE example switches between flat and
hierarchal layouts.
Here are the POM files that I have. When I select External Tools
compile or package, I get BUILD SUCCESSFUL but no class files or jar is
written to the target directory.
So what is the correct way to lay out a project that will consist of
multiple modules?
