Description
WebGoat is a good example of this problem. The installer updates pom.xml correctly and generates appmap.yml that has no packages without giving the user any warning that no packages were found and added to the configuration.
# This is the AppMap configuration file.
# For full documentation of this file for Java programs, see:
# https://appland.com/docs/reference/appmap-java.html#configuration
name: WebGoat
packages: []
# appmap-java init looks for source packages in src/main/java.
# This folder was not found in your project, so no packages were auto-detected.
# You can add your source packages by replacing the line above with lines like this:
# packages:
# - path: com.mycorp.pkg
# - path: org.otherstuff.pkg
The installer should at least notify the user that the appmap.yml configuration is incomplete; and preferably the logic for discovering Java packages is updated to search for sources in the projects' submodules' folders.

Research direction
Start with the npx appmap install flow and the generated appmap.yml and pom.xml behavior described for WebGoat. Check how Java packages are discovered when a project has submodules. Done means the installer warns when no packages are found and, if supported, discovers packages from submodule source folders.
