Maven multi-module project

[Jonas Trollvik]

Hi,
I recently converted our projects to a maven multi-module project. I
have a webapp project which is the entrypoint for the whole
application which is one of the modules.

It works fine to deploy the application to the tomcat container when I
select the Webapp project, however what I want to do is to do the same
for the Multi-module project so all dependencies will be compiled if
changed aswell. However I cannot find any information on how to do
this in netbeans / maven.

I first tried to solve the problem by adding this to the multi-module
project pom:
<properties>
<netbeans.hint.packaging>war</netbeans.hint.packaging>
<netbeans.hint.deploy.server>Tomcat60</netbeans.hint.deploy.server>
</properties>

This made the deploy icon show up at least but it does not deploy the
war itself so I think Im way off here.

Any suggestions/help on how to handle this problem the right way would
be appreciated

Best regards,
Jonas Trollvik

Sorry for bringing this up again, but since I cannot find any useful
information regarding this I have to ask again. Is there no way to
"run" a multi module maven project in Netbeans?

Regards,
Jonas

Hi, to all. I have a same problem, like Jonas, I suppose. My application consists of 3 modules:
1. Server web-application.
2. Classes library for JAX-WS interchanging
3. Client web-application

The order in which I need it to deploy is next:
1. Server web-app: build, deploy to application server (Tomcat) registered in Netbeans
2. Build Classes library based on Server web-app (so needed web-app to be deployed)
3. Build and deploy to Tomcat of Client web-application with dependecies on Classes library.

I have set up property netbeans.deploy=true to Run Action of web-apps. And it is deployed fine separately.
But when I do the same for Main project, I suppose this property is ignored, cause in Maven log I can't see phase for deploying of applications, just packaging and install.

If someone has an ideas, please, share it.

Best regards, Dmitry S.
