Updating group id in a multi-module spring maven project

Updating the Group ID in a Multi-Module Maven Project

Maven is a popular build tool for Java projects that helps developers manage dependencies and build artifacts. If you are working on a multi-module Maven project, you may need to update the group ID for the project at some point. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the pom.xml file for the parent project. This is the root pom.xml file for the multi-module project, and it should contain a <groupId> element in the <project> element.
2. Update the <groupId> element to the new group ID that you want to use.
3. Save the pom.xml file.
4. Open the pom.xml files for each of the child modules in the project. These are the pom.xml files that are located in the subdirectories of the parent project.
5. Update the <groupId> element in each of the child module's pom.xml files to the new group ID.
6. Save the pom.xml files for the child modules.
7. Run the following Maven command to update the group ID in the project’s artifacts and dependencies:

mvn clean install

This will update the group ID in all of the artifacts and dependencies for the project.

It’s important to note that updating the group ID in a Maven project can have consequences for the project’s dependencies. If other projects depend on your project and use the old group ID, they may break when you update the group ID. Make sure to coordinate with any other developers or teams that depend on your project before making this change.
