Do you use this sort of setup? I think that the dep section would be expanded along the tree of POMs where needed. But one thing I was think about the POM structure was the possibility of a meta flag to indicate whether an element was overriden or aggregated. Still not sure if this would be necessary for this type of scenerio, but there will be some surveys coming along with the maven2 alpha so we'll find out :-) > -Vincent > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: John Casey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: April 15, 2004 1:46 PM > > > To: Maven Users List > > > Subject: Re: Maven and Development Process > > > > > > Somewhat unfortunately (because it does amount to a lot of work), > that > > > is the current best practice, I believe.
