Well, that might be the case. I have never tested any other scenario because this is how I organise my Maven projects. Neither am I a Maven expert nor did I claim that my solution works for everybody in every case. I just read a message on the list, remembered that I used to struggle with a similar problem in the past and offered my solution because it *works for me*. If it does not work for you because your child modules are not in nested directories, I am sorry. I am more the "convention over configuration" type, trying to keep it simple.
