Hi Karl, Thank you for the suggestion to use maven-shade/maven-assembly-plugin(s).
I was planning to use them, but haven't gotten around to them yet. I was hung up on the checkout/build thing. :- Maybe on Tuesday. The libraries are in 7 modules to manage the development cycle, specifically functional and unit testing. The aggregate library.jar will not have test cases other than one per library to ensure each module was included in the library.jar. The BOM file is the way I'm going as per your suggestion. cheers, gary On 2019/03/24 21:45:37, Karl Heinz Marbaise <khmarba...@gmx.de> wrote: > Hi Gary, > > On 24.03.19 17:55, ga...@oedata.com wrote: > > Hi Nick, > > > > Thanks for the questions, I'll try to explain. > > > > The parent pom aggregates a library (jar) from different and sometimes > > interdependent modules.
