How to create new maven project with a parent pom instead of one that is structured for Java?
Answered
I'd like to create a new maven project which is just a parent/reactor pom in IntelliJ, and then add new maven modules with source.
Is there a specific archetype that I would use for this? When I create a Maven project in Inteillij I just get a basic Java project.
I'd also like it if, when I added a new maven module to the project, if it would work with the <modules> element in the reactor pom.
Does Intellij support this and I'm just missing it or do I have to manage it manually?
Thanks

Just create new maven project, then add new maven modules to it (File | New | Module of a Maven type and select it to be a child module.
See Configuring a multi-module Maven project.
