Charles,
>From one of your earlier messages in this thread, you said you need
the jar to package into a war and/or ear. It sounds like either you
are:
1. trying to build multiple artifacts in the same project or
2. using subprojects, but putting your dependencies at the parent
level.
If #1 is true, you should build each artifact in a separate
subproject. See:
o the Wiki on building a webapp
(http://wiki.codehaus.org/maven/CreatingWebApplications)
o a Maven J2EE tutorial
(http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=MavenMagic)
o the multiproject plugin
(http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/multiproject/)
If #2 is true, move your dependencies down to the appropriate
subproject's project.xml file. At least move dependencies on anything
you create in this project down to the WAR or EAR subproject.
