What is this example about?

Modules in this example

  • modmain, moda

  • modmain requires moda.

Example shows …​

  • typical structure with maven and two modules.

Dependencies have to be modelled both in the module-info and the pom!

Setup

You might want to edit the Maven settings file mvn_settings.xml according to your needs (proxies, local repository path etc.) The file provided here is just a copy of the original file from Maven 3.5.2 distribution.

Maven plugins

  • maven-compiler-plugin Version >= 3.6.1 is needed

  • Note that the JavaDoc generation shows an error for modmain (probably caused by this Maven plugin bug)

Output and Testing

This example does not use golden master testing because Maven output includes timestamps, absolute file paths, and version information that varies between runs. See the golden master testing section in the main README for more information.
