Spring Boot - Advanced Patterns

A developer adds a new module but the parent pom.xml does not list it under <modules>. What is the likely effect?

BThe new module will build but fail at runtime

CThe new module will not be built when running the parent build

DThe parent build will fail immediately

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand module listing in parent pom
Modules must be listed in the parent <modules> section to be included in the build lifecycle.
Step 2: Consequence of omission
If omitted, the module is ignored during parent build but can be built separately.
Final Answer:
New module not built with parent build -> Option C
Quick Check:
