Split Multi-Module maven project into separate WAR files

Question

I have a maven project which contains several sub-module projects. Currently when I build the project, one WAR file is generated.

Is it possible to specify through the POM that seperate WAR files should be built for each module in the project, so I can host the war files on separate servers if need be?

Cheers.

Answer 1

Make the packaging in the sub modules war :

<packaging>war</packaging>

... and make the packaging for the parent project pom :

<packaging>pom</packaging>
