Hi,
I imported a Spring/Maven project from GitHub into Eclipse called ecom4j for study purposes. It imported as 5 folders. It seems like 5 seperate projects as each folder has a pom file. I have attached a screenshot of the import. Can anyone please explain this setup to me.
Thanks in advance,
Gus

Looking at the github project, it is indeed five projects. Some of which depend on each other. I would have made this one project with a parent POM.

With the current setup, each project would be versioned on its own schedule.

Hi Jeanne,
Thanks for your reply, I am a newbie and I am trying to reverse engineer a Spring MVC project and see how it all binds together. I have a few questions if that is ok. Why would someone design a project like this? Would it be for re-usability, but why the seperate POM's? How would this project build with Maven as it has multiple POM's?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Gus
