SVN Checkout of multi module maven project causing build issues

Question

I am trying to learn how to setup multi-module maven project and share it with colleagues using SVN.

We work with eclipse IDE.

Here is how my project structure looks in SVN.

Each module has its own svn labels and tag trunk, branches, tags etc.

I check out all the modules individually by right clicking on them and choosing check out.

Finally I get the below in my eclipse project explorer:

Here is my pom for the parent project. and this throws errors when I do a mvn clean install

I want to understand how to checkout the projects/ modify my pom to get the build successful.

Thanks

You don't want to check out the root folders of your modules in SVN. All you want is the content of the trunk. So right click on the trunk folder and select Check out as.... Check it out as new projects and enable Maven on those project afterwards. Do this with each of your modules and you should be fine.

If you have Maven SVN connectors installed you have an option called Check out as Maven project. This is very comfortable as it does a few steps for you.
