A module of this type stores libraries (typically 3rd party libraries). These libraries are used as dependencies of a module. How to do this is described in module dependencies.
Since a library module is nothing more than a container for .jar
files, building or packaging a library module has no effect.
The following layout is defined for a library module. All other files and/or directories are ignored.
| Source | Build | Package | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| /lib | - | - | This directory contains the .jar files to which other
modules can have a dependency. Building, testing or packaging has no
effect on the contents of this directory.
