Folders in Maven parent project

Question

I'm working on a Maven multi-module project, with the following structure:

erm-project <pom>
|-- erm-commons <jar>
|-- erm-web <war>
|-- erm-backend <jar>

Within the parent project erm-project there is a src/ folder. Is a src/ folder neccessary for a pom type project as there will never be source-code in it?

Answer 1

No, it isn't. You can download a sample Maven multi-module project from Sonatype here to see how it is all laid out.
