maven-module

I have a maven multi module project designed like the first answer in following SO post: Multi-module maven with Spring Boot Now I want a common maven module that can contain some models to be used by multiple microservices. If I make this common project as a child of the first level parent pom (so that all dependencies injected by boot like jpa, jackson etc are available to common), then STS/Spring is detecting it as a boot application and complains about no Main class on maven build. Can someone suggest how I can achieve this? Current Code: parent pom.xml: (Only relevant parts included)

I'd like to have a module in some kind of global project directory, so that I can include that module in all other projects that use that common code. But how can I then tell a maven parent pom to include and compile this global shared module? The following does not work: svn/MyGlobalProject/project-commons/pom.xml //should be shared among different projects svn/MyProject/web-parent/trunk/pom.xml //the parent pom used to build the application svn/MyProject/web-parent/trunk/project-domain/pom.xml //submodule 1 svn/MyProject/web-parent/trunk/project-web/pom.xml //submodule 2 parent pom.xml:

We have a product that consists of many Maven projects that depend on each other. All of these Maven projects come together in a single project which delivers the end product. The Maven projects share the same life cycle. In other words, they are not managed by separate teams of people with explicit <dependency> changes to pick up newer versions of other projects. Rather, when someone changes something in one of the projects, then the result should go directly into the end product without additional changes. We use Jenkins as our Continuous Integration tool. The main wishes we have are as
