title: How do I deploy multiple peer webapps from a parent pom
body: <p>I have a set of web apps that I manage that I am trying to move to maven.  </p>
  
  <pre>
  /pom.xml            // parent pom
   webapp1/pom.xml    // configured to point to parent
   webapp2/pom.xml    // peer of webapp1 and points to parent.
  </pre>
  
  <p>each of the webapps refers to the parent pom, and they both currently have a jetty maven plugin that works.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how do I mount each of the webapps from the parent pom such that mvn jetty:run works in the parent directory?</p>
  
  <p>edit to anwer: Pascal T
  The issue is not so much that I'm getting an error when I try and run the command from the root pom, but that I'm not sure how to configure it.</p>
  
  <p>for example the webapp1/pom.xml 
  looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;project&gt;
  ...
  &lt;plugins&gt;
    &lt;plugin&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.mortbay.jetty&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-jetty-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;/plugin&gt;
  &lt;/plugins&gt;
  ...
  &lt;/project&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>changing to this directory and typing mvn jetty:run works just fine and affords me the ability to hit: <a href="http://localhost:8080/webapp1" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/webapp1</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However, what I would like would be to be in the parent of webapp1, and run all 'n' webapps from the parent directory.  Thus having <a href="http://localhost:8080/webapp1" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/webapp1</a>, and <a href="http://localhost:8080/webapp2" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/webapp2</a> available with one command line parameter.</p>
  
  <p>btw, if the answer involved a tomcat plugin, that would be fine.</p>
