title: Maven child module does not exist
body: <p>I'm new to Maven. I checked out from SVN a project from a customer with the following structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>projectName
  |--&gt; pom.xml
  |--&gt; jetty-wrapper
       |--&gt; pom.xml
       |--&gt; bin
            |--&gt; pom.xml
  |--&gt; projectName-common
       |--&gt; pom.xml
       |--&gt; bin
            |--&gt; pom.xml
  |--&gt; projectName-war
       |--&gt; bin
            |--&gt; pom.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the pom.xml right below 'projectName` (the pom at the top) is building the three modules</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;modules&gt;
      &lt;module&gt;projectName-common&lt;/module&gt;
      &lt;module&gt;projectName-war&lt;/module&gt;
      &lt;module&gt;jetty-wrapper&lt;/module&gt;
  &lt;/modules&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when executing <code>mvn clean install</code> from folder <code>projectName</code>it gives the following error </p>
  
  <pre><code>Child module [...]projectName\projectName-war\pom.xml of [...]projectName\pom.xml does not exist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The question is: Should there be a pom.xml right below <code>projectName-war</code>just like with the rest of the modules that my customer may have forgotten to commit to SVN?</p>
