I would like to be able to have a parent POM that specifies its "child" modules with coordinates, just like dependencies and parent POMs are specified.
So instead of <module>a</module> where that module must exist as an immediate sub-folder, I could have <module> <artifactId>a</artifactId> <groupId>b</groupId> <version>1.0</version> </module> where the parent and modules can be stored more or less independently and find each other using maven coordinates. Is this possible? I have seen no documentation or discussion describing this, so I figure you can't do it. As always though, I had to ask. Thanks! -- Steven Cummings
