One way people on this list implement this is by viewing their various Maven modules as being a series of transformations which are applied to successive artifacts. lib, common, etc depended on by war depended on by obfuscator depended on by shader depended on by assembly eventually produces an obfuscated, shaded war file in a tar.gz along with the latest compatible version of Tomcat in an OS-specific package ready for simple deployment. An Ant-oriented person might put all this in a single Maven module and force the various plugins to bind to different phases and customize or hard-code the configuration to force this pipeline just to achieve all of this in a single module build. A Maven-oriented person probably would not.
