Gary Morgan commented on MNG-3257: ---------------------------------- The text in question can be found here: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html The paragraphs in full are: "In the revised com.mycompany.app:my-app:1, the packaging section and the modules sections were added. For the packaging, it's value was set to "pom", and for the modules section, we have the element /module/ my-module///module/ . The value of /module/// is the relative path from the com.mycompany.app:my-module:1 to com.mycompany.app:my-module:1's POM (by practice, we use the module's artifactId as the module directory's name ). Now, whenever a maven command processes com.mycompany.app:my-module:1, that same maven command would be ran against com.mycompany.app:my-module:1 as well. Furthermore, some commands (goals specifically) handles project aggregation differently.
