Why a module in my multi-module maven project doesn't work?

I fetched a project from a remote repo. As a result, I have a project with 3 modules that work fine and one module that somehow is not a part of the project or something.
Here is the screenshot of my project:
So anagram, calculator and char counter work well, but java-8-api does not.
Here is the root pom.xml:

How to add spring boot actuator to WAR project

I have spring mvc application. I tried to convert it to spring boot by doing following steps.
Adding spring-boot-starter-parent parent pom
Adding relevant spring-boot-starter dependncy
Removing spring-mvc and other dependency.
Removed AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer class.
Added #ComponentScan, #EnableAutoConfiguration to root config class.
This was successful and I could see that application was working but when I added spring-boot-starter-actuator dependency and run mvn jetty:run . http://localhost:8080//actuator returns 404 response.
Can someone please tell me how I can add actuator in this case ?

failed to resolve dependencies in maven multi module project

I am posting this question even though there are other questions on this. However, I did not find any solution so far on this, hence posting this question.
I am getting this error :
Could not resolve dependencies for project vehicle-tracker:vehicle-simulator:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at vehicle-tracker:common-libs:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for vehicle-tracker:common-libs:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact vehicle-tracker:vehicle-tracker:pom:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
common-libs jar is available under

The project I am trying to build is dependent over common-libs jar but maven is failed to find in local maven repo.

I am not able to find where I am doing mistake in POM or else where ...so not able to build project vehicle-tracker.

I resolved the build error. Actually I was putting below in common-libs module's POM.xml :
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This should be in the POM.xml of commons-lib module as it is creating spring-boot jar. Hence dependency was not available for dependent module.
After removing this block of configuration in POM.xml from commons-lib module, I am able to build the project without any issue(s).
Thank U All for looking in to this.
Just sharing this if any one having would face this knowingly or unknowingly.

How to build a multi-module Maven project without a main class in one of the modules

I've been trying to find an answer to this issue in similar questions but I still don't know what is causing it.
I have a multi-module maven project and I'm trying to run mvn install or mvn package and I get the following error

I have something very similar to the structure of this project (sfg-pet-clinic), however, after downloading and running mvn package, it works fine. I don't see much difference between the pom files of my project and this one so what could I be missing?

Configuration is for older versions of spring.
Remove:
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
Instead, add this flag below pom artifactId
<properties>
<spring-boot.repackage.skip>true</spring-boot.repackage.skip>
</properties>
Like so:
<parent>
<artifactId>mc-pet-clinic</artifactId>
<groupId>guru.springframework</groupId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<artifactId>pet-clinic-data</artifactId>
<properties>
<spring-boot.repackage.skip>true</spring-boot.repackage.skip>
</properties>
...

I would move the entire
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
section from the parent to the module-app module, because that one is the single module which uses the repackage functionality.
Moreower I would delete the plugin section from the module-data too, because there is no need to repackage that module.

Thanks to #wemu on the comments section.
Adding this:
<configuration>
<mainClass> ${your.start.Class}</mainClass>
</configuration>
to the plugin section is required on version 2.1.1.RELEASE of the spring-boot-starter-parent dependency, as long as your class is in another module.
The project sfg-pet-clinic I referred to in my question uses an older version which does not need the <mainClass> configuration

Okay here is how I fixed that.
My Steps were:
Change the packaging of pom.xml file for project-data to pom from
jar (I used overview of Eclipse)
add <type>pom</type> in pom.xml file for project-app for dependency of module-data
<dependency>
<groupId>samee.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>project-data</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
Then you can run your clean and package/install

I just changed the Spring Boot version in the parent pom.xml from 2.1.1 to 2.0.3 and it works.
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.0.3.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath /> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
Would be better to make it work in 2.1.1 though, but that's a quick and simple solution.

Maven appears to be ignoring source and target in webapp

I'm getting "Generated servlet error:|try-with-resources is not supported in -source 1.5". 1.5 is maven's default according to another question on the topic, but I thought I had fixed that in my pom.xml -

Ultimately, I think the question is probably "what have I done wrong that maven is ignoring the source and target specifications?" There are similar questions out there, but the ones I've seen are either not solved or suggest things that exist in my pom.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jetty is using 1.5 source and target args by default for JSP compilation. See Jetty embedded and JSP compilation to 1.7? for pointers and info on switching Jetty to use 1.7
