But if I change something in other module, for example, add a new entity class in module domain, I have to install the ROOT to local repo first before I run tomcat:run within module web, otherwise a error: cannot find symbol will be reported if I run tomcat:run directly. So how can I install other modules first before I run tomcat:run within module web if I change something in other modules? Thanks in advance. Best regards.
