Copy module to another module maven multi-modules

Question

I'm trying to copy a sub-module to another module without any errors while running the application

here is my structure:

+ -- MyMainProject
     + -- application           
     |     ` -- pom.xml
     + -- domain                
     |     ` -- pom.xml
     + -- bootloader            
     |     `src/main/java
     |     ` -- pom.xml
     + -- infrastructure        <- infrastructure module (has 3 modules)
          + -- infrastructure 1          
          |     `  --  pom.xml
          + -- infrastructure 2          
          |     `  --  pom.xml
          + -- infrastructure 3          <- move this module to application module
          |     `  --  pom.xml
     | -- pom.xml

So what I'm trying to do is to move sub-module infrastructure 3 to application module and then my application module will have infrastructure 3 as a sub-module without any errors. I'm using intellij, any suggestion please

Answer 1

In your root pom.xml you probably have <modules/> tag, so what you need is to copy infrastructure 3 directory onto the same level with application and include infrastructure 3 into mentioned <modules/> tag.

With IDEA you can move directory with its contents with F6. After the changes are done simply press Ctrl+Shift+O to reimport maven project, so IDEA will restructure its auxiliary files and indexes.
