This setup is effectively what I have so far. However I am unable to use parent on a number of modules (as some have more than 1). On reading the doco I don't believe this actually matters. Am I right in thinking that the root pom only need include the war modules and everything else should be taken care of? I guess the main issue I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is if doing a package from the top level pom, how and when to jars get compiled/deployed and what do you need to do to achieve this? Thanks for all the help so far! Adam On 6 April 2011 15:51, Karl Heinz Marbaise <k...@soebes.de> wrote: > Hi Adam, > > > Adam Gibbons wrote: > > > > That is effectively what I have so far.
