Thanks for all your answers, the only problem with this is that I am using
other eclipse plugins as part of my iterative build. For instance I use the
hibernate plugin in my POM file. This means that although eclipse will be
aware of the source dependency, the POM file is not. So it is true that this
solution is effective for compilation. However, any plugins defined in the
POM file will not be aware of it and still build off the JAR file :-(. There
is a workaround for this, which consists in using ant tasks as part of the
development rather that using the maven plugins. However this means that for
development I do not rely on maven at all, which defeats its purpose.
Thanks,

This may not work for you, but I use Eclipse with the Maven plugin (

asking with other dependent projects open in the workspace.

Hi,
I am working on 2 projects, one is Dependant on the other. The usual way
of
dealing with this is to add a dependency to a jar file located in the
repository. This works fine but the source project (on which the target
project depends) is constantly evolving, as we are doing some iterative
development. The source and target project are modified at the same time.
Consequently i don't want to work off a jar file of the source project,
because generating jar files and deploying them to the repository takes
too
long (only 20 seconds but it adds up when this is done dozens / hundreds
of
times per day ).
I do not want to merge these two projects into one as the source is a
common
project and is being used by other projects too, I need these two
projects
to be distinct.
So the solution is to indicate to maven a source folder which the target
project depends on rather than a JAR file.
Can this be achieved ?
Thanks,
