I have a question in regards to this. Is there a way to build the projects as a whole, as you say? As of now, I have to run maven on each individual child, and I'm not sure if there is one way to call maven to run the parent and all children at once.
Does anyone know if this is doable?

You need to define your parent pom in your project's root directory (ex. C:\Project\pom.xml ) and the children pom in each module's root directory (ex. C:\Project\module-1\pom.xml). Please take a look below at the sample parent and child poms. Parent POM: <project> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>sample.project</groupId> <artifactId>sample</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <name>Sample Project</name> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <description>This is a sample project</description> <modules> <module>module-1</module> <module>module-2</module> <module>module-3</module> </modules> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId> <artifactId>maven-model</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> </project> Module-1 Child POM: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <parent> <groupId>sample.project</groupId> <artifactId>sample</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <artifactId>module-1</artifactId> <name>Sample Project Module 1</name> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId> <artifactId>maven-model</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> Thanks, Odea Fredy wrote: >hi, >i've read something about the parent pom at multiple places, but have not found an explanation about it. >Is there a doc about parent pom's?
