Hi,
I'm completely new to Maven so I hope I'm not way off track.

I've got a project with a number of elements (each in a separate CVS modules). Here's an example:
- mod-database:
The abstract database model. It's used by the rest of
the system to communicate with the database (regardless of the
specific database server).
- mod-sqlserver:
This is a concrete instance of the abstract model (mod-database)
that is tuned specificall for MS SQLserver.
- mod-mysql:
Ditto, but for MySQL.

Now, mod-sqlserver (and mod-mysql) require mod-database in order to
compile. Using Maven is it the responsibility to ensure that the
latest mod-database.jar is always available in the Maven repository
*or*
is there some way to specify a <dependency> in the Maven project.xml
for mod-sqlserver that identifies another CVS module (mod-database)
that must be checked out in order to build mod-sqlserver.

For example:
# cvs co mod-sqlserver
# cd mod-sqlserver
# maven jar
INFO: mod-sqlserver requires mod-database
INFO: Checking mod-database out from cvs
INFO: cd ../mod-database
INFO: maven jar
INFO: cd ../mod-sqlserver
INFO: maven jar

You get the idea? Is there any way of doing this kind of thing?

Thanks,
ct
