How to get 'mvn lagom:runAll' to get my service listening on a port? - lagom

Question

I was having problems getting my first service to run and decided to add the hello-api and hello-impl projects from the lagom Maven archtype project to see if it would work. It did but mine do not.
Background
Since other team members are pure Java developers, I was trying to avoid leveraging sbt and activator. Thus, the objective is that everything works in maven.
Here's a snippet of the 'mvn install' script output to show the other services built.
$ mvn install

NOTES: An MAIActorsModule class analogous to the HelloModule class was created and the application.conf file added in the src/main/resources folder.
When the command 'mvn lagom:runAll' is issued, initially, the services are the hello service port is logged but no other service's port is.
$ mvn lagom:runAll

What step(s) did I miss?

Answer 1

Each of your <service>-impl projects need to:
Invoke the lagom-maven-plugin
Configure it with the property <lagomService>true</lagomService>
Here's an example snippet of what you need to add to your pom.xml file in each service implementation project:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.lightbend.lagom</groupId>
<artifactId>lagom-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<lagomService>true</lagomService>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
