Is there a way to create Multi-Module Maven in vscode

[ydmykr]

I read an article about the multi-module Maven project on IDE.

I tried it on vscode but I faied when I want to creat a maven project in a maven project.

And I get the following error report.

What I want to ask is whether there is a way to implement the method of this article in vscode

AFAIK, your module should be created under a parent project, whose pom.xml has <packaging>pom</packaging> instead of jar or war.

@Eskibear

Can I simply implement this step in vscode.

[Eskibear]

In Maven explorer, right click on your root project, and run install.

I got this error when I click "install".

I refer to this page, but it didn't work for me.

[Eskibear]

you should UNZIP the package before using it.

Two action items generated from this discussion, which potentially will improve the getting started experience for creating multi-module projects.

• add new project as module of existing project #849 Similar with guides mentioned above, adding a new entry to add modules.
• put more commonly used archetypes on the first page #848 In fact we can directly create a multi-module project from existing archetype, we can increase its visibility.
