I wouldn't think you could do anything like that. The "coordinates" you describe tell you where to find something in the repository, but they're no help finding source code. <module> tells Maven where to find the source code so it can build the project if necessary. Seems unavoidable that Maven would need to know that.

I would like to be able to have a parent POM that specifies its "child" modules with coordinates, just like dependencies and parent POMs are specified. So instead of <module>a</module> where that module must exist as an immediate sub-folder, I could have <module> <artifactId>a</artifactId> <groupId>b</groupId> <version>1.0</version> </module> where the parent and modules can be stored more or less independently and find each other using maven coordinates. Is this possible? I have seen no documentation or discussion describing this, so I figure you can't do it. As always though, I had to ask.
