4.2.2 Creating Modules Using Maven Archetype

We can create Biz Module in three ways, and this article introduces the second one:

1. Splitting a large application into multiple modules
2. Transforming an existing application into a single module
3. Directly creating a module using a scaffold
4. Transform ordinary code fragments into a module

It’s easy to creating a module from maven archetype, all you need to do is input the Maven groupId and artifactId for the archetype in IDEA.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.alipay.sofa.koupleless</groupId>
    <artifactId>koupleless-common-module-archetype</artifactId>
    <version>{koupleless.runtime.version}</version>
</dependency>

The module created from this archetype has already integrated the module packaging plugin and automatic slimming configuration. It can be directly packaged as a module and installed on the base, or started independently locally.
