Wayne, The second way you describe is the way my project is defined. Assume I have a couple extra modules defined this way and I only want to build module1. If I issue mvn package all the modules will be build correct? My question is: Is there a command line switch to tell mvn to build only module1 (and it's dependencies). I know I could put an ignore clause(or something like that) in the top level file but that's not really what I want.
