title: Spring Boot Multi Module used with Micro Services and Gradle
body: <p>I'm converting all our old monolithic applications into shared micro services using spring boot. To help maintain all the applications I'd like to use a single gradle file located in the root of the parent directory. I stumbled on the spring boot multi module project <a href="https://spring.io/guides/gs/multi-module/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://spring.io/guides/gs/multi-module/</a> and started down that path. </p>
  
  <p>My question is can the multi module project be used to share a single parent gradle file as well as shared libraries and still be able to produce individual jars for each micro service? I get the impression when using multi modules only a single jar will be produced and all the modules will be a part of that single jar.  </p>
