Lee,
Have you tried using the exclusions that are available within the
dependency declarations?
If this webservices.jar is needed in a project (say project-a) which
is included within an ear (say ear-project), you would define the
following dependency within the ear-project pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>whatever</groupId>
<artifactId>project-a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>whatever</groupId>
<artifactId>webservices</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
With this approach, you could use a compile scoped dependency but not
have it included in the ear.
Hope that helps,
David
