Sure it does not, there was an idea floating around, of a plugin that would analyze a source directory and suggest a set of dependencies based on the contents of the local repository. > It's sorting a set of > jar file names.

Well, there is no distiction from a single project's point of view. There is fundamental distinction when you build a cluster of projects with the reactor -- in such case their interdependencies are taken into consideration, to bulild them in the correct order. >>Have you placed the inter project dependencies properly? > > > I believe so, but how would I know?

I believe Vincent is building his company's 300+ projects in several clusters, so he's probably the best source of information on this subject.
