Describe changes proposed in this pull request:

  • general page describing existing maven modules

  • figure showing modules and dependencies

  • The commit log is comprehensible. It follows 7 rules of great commit messages. For most PRs a single commit should suffice, in some cases multiple topical commits can be useful. During review it is ok to see tiny commits (e.g. Fix reviewer comments), but right before the code gets merged to master or rc branch, any such commits should be squashed since they are useless to the other developers. Definitely avoid merge commits, use rebase instead.

Nice work @sheridancbio! This is really useful. One minor thing is the flow of how one would get here from the README.md . There is a link to the documentation already but maybe it's good to add a line that the architecture and folder structure are described there with links to the relevant sections?

which define the code components and modules which make up the backend. The pom.xml
files also list dependencies on external open source libraries, and dependencies between cBioPortal Maven modules.
They also give instructions for how to build and package code components into a
deployable format.

Overall, looks great and a long needed addition to the docs. I think we need to include/link some of this information into the README.md file of the repos. We can work on that in a separate PR.
