Thanks for your help. As I explain very badly, I will give an example:
I have a module with the following pom.xml
<artifactId>language</artifactId>
<modules>
<module>lambda</module>
<module>hol</module>
<module>fol</module>
</modules>
In another module I would like to create a dependency to all the submodules
of language:
<dependency>
<groupId>..</groupId>
<artifactId>language</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
So automatically lambda, hol and fol will be added as dependencies. I get no
error from maven about this but the scala compiler tells me it cannot find
specific classes within the jars of lambda, hol and fol. when I do instead:
<dependency>
<groupId>..</groupId>
<artifactId>lambda</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
etc.
it works OK.
I was wondering if I am not using this recursive dependency correctly.
Thanks again for your help,
Tomer
