I am using the reactor to perform this. In my maven.xml, the reactor
calls the dependent project goals. Ideally these dependent project
publishes everything that other projects may need in the local
repository as artifacts. However, ATM, only jars artifacts are really
supported (but there's been progress recently in CVS - I haven't looked
yet). The next step is to have "war:install", "ear:install",
"rar:install", etc in the different plugins and then be able to specify
dependencies on these artifacts in your project.xml.
At least, that's my vision...

I'm doing this with the reactor.
