What are some Maven project naming conventions for web application module?
- by Jared Pearson
When creating a project with the webapp archetype in Maven, they subtly advise not putting any Java source in the webapp project by not including the "src/main/java" folder.
What do you name your Maven projects?
project-webapp for the project that contains the JSP, CSS, Images, etc.
project for the project that contains domain specific entities
? for the project that contains the web application files like Servlets, Listeners, etc.
My first inclination would be to use "webapp" for the project containing the web application files (Servlets/Listeners), however the archetype uses "webapp" to convey the JSP/CSS/Images project and would cause confusion to other developers.
