You're talking about classifiers ie <classifier>jdk14</classifier>. ;-) You could probably rig some complicated system using assembler to unjar the B.war file, grab the files from b-war/WEB-INF/classes and build them into the A.war project. But no guarantees it would work. And it would take a decent amount of time to get it all working properly, I'd assume. This is another case of "help Maven help you" -- I'd just get the B.war guy to break his project into 2 pieces, jar and war, and pull in the B-jar dependency by itself. Wayne
