title: How to create an empty multi module Maven project?
body: <p>Right now I usually find a <code>pom.xml</code> file on the web that has a <code>pom</code> packaging and copy and paste it to create my parent project. Then I used to run <code>archetype:create</code> inside the parent directory to create sub modules but <code>archetype:create</code> has become deprecated since then.</p>
  
  <p>Any recommendations on how to create new Maven multi-module projects?</p>
