This is true but doing it via maven (that is: compiling and testing with actual dependencies) helps you to ensure it really is a usable artefact. I've been doing tricks like building a JAR in ANT and then simply attaching it to a POM but this sucks in the long run as you need to hand-check POMs every time. Think of a parallel maven build as an automated test suite :) As always, there is a drawback -- maven-compiled JARs will be different from those compiled using other tools (timestamps, possibly manifest entries if I remember correctly).
