    Both are same But in module we need to specify Parent of Module. is Possible duplication of [Link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2890341/maven-module-vs-project-eclipse-m2eclipse-plugin) –  Sep 04 '12 at 14:35
  • IMHO, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2890341/maven-module-vs-project-eclipse-m2eclipse-plugin is specific to m2eclipse, whereas this question isn't. – oberlies Jan 08 '14 at 13:20
  • Does this answer your question? [Maven "Module" vs "Project" (Eclipse, m2eclipse plugin)](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2890341/maven-module-vs-project-eclipse-m2eclipse-plugin) – Islam Hassan Aug 24 '20 at 19:16

a maven module is like a maven "sub-project". a maven project includes 1 or more modules. more info here.

Typically, a module generates a single artifact (jar, war, zip, etc), although this is not always true.
