# Creating Maven 3 Multi Module Projects From Command Line

Execute: mvn archetype:generate
Search for: A_CHANGING_NUMBER: remote -> pom-root (Root project archetype for creating multi module projects)
Use number from #2 as input for the wizzard when maven asks you: "Choose a number: […]:")


If you are working a lot in command line with Maven, take a look at JBoss Forge


But: if you are starting a Java EE 6 project with a multi-module maven module, you should rethink your decision. Start with a single WAR :-)
