Is there a way to create a jenkins job for a muti module maven project

Question

I am trying to create Jenkins jobs for maven projects, each project has its own pom.xml file and when I specify the location of the pom.xml file while configuring Jenkins jobs and run the build I get the below error :

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project licenseserver: Could not resolve dependencies for project com:licenseserver:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at com.:logging:jar:[0.0.1-SNAPSHOT,): No versions available for com:logging:jar:[0.0.1-SNAPSHOT,) within specified range -> [Help 1] [JENKINS] Arc

Answer 1

The problem is that you can't create a project solely for the ProjectApp module because it depends on the other modules below the ProjectApp parent. If you don't deploy those modules to your maven repository, maven is not able to find them in the repository nor in the build reactor.

Instead you should create the job for the parent. This will build the necessary modules.

You may also work with the option also-make-dependants when you have a job for ProjectApp, but I haven't any experience with this.
