On the backend build process, after the frontend module is built, you can copy what's in the frontend build directory into ${project.projectDir}/src/main/resources/static/ so both modules can be packaged into one single jar. Here is an example using Gradle:

task moveFrontendToResources(type: Copy) {
    from "../frontend/build/"
    into "${project.projectDir}/src/main/resources/static/"
}

moveFrontendToResources.dependsOn(':frontend:bundle')
processResources.dependsOn(moveFrontendToResources)
