How to create child POM for sub projects in the Maven project?

Question

My selenium framework is complete and I am developing Test Cases for 4-5 different applications.

I want separate POM.XML for each for each application.

Answer 1

You can create child pom.xml by specifying parent.

Sample parent pom.xml file

<project>

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>

<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>

<version>1</version>

</project>

Sample child pom.xml

<project>

<parent>

<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>

<artifactId>my-app</artifactId>

<version>1</version>

</parent>

<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>

<artifactId>my-module</artifactId>

<version>1</version>

</project>

 

In above example, you can see that your child pom.xml file is specifying parent pom.xml file's groupId, aftifactId and version.

 

Hope that helps!
