mvn spring boot run from the parent module of a multi module project starts only the first project in the module. How to start both? - spring-boot

Question

I have say two spring boot projects naming-server and cloud-config. I have created the following parent pom.xml. When I run mvn spring-boot:run from the parent directory, only naming-server starts. Is there a way to start both naming-server and cloud-config together?

Answer 1

Basically the spring-boot-maven-plugin should be applied to only one project of which you want to create an executable jar. It must be removed from the other modules. To tell Maven to not build an executable jar for the Library project, you must remove the following block from the pom.xml created by the Spring Initializr.
For more details, see https://spring.io/guides/gs/multi-module/#initial
Just remove or comment out the block like following:
<!-- <build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build> -->
Alternatively, you could specify parent of the modules within the pom file with tag
