I am very new to maven and trying to wrap my head around how best to port an existing ant based project to maven.
The project is a webservice layer for application. The ant build currently generates two artifacts: - my-ws-client.jar. Consists of WS interfaces, a few concrete classes used only by the client and a client spring config file. - my-ws.war. Consists of WS interfaces, WS impls, server spring config file and other config resources (e.g. web.xml etc) Although maven strongly encourages a single primary artifact per project, there is support for attached artifacts. I normally see this in reference to the ejb plugin. However, there are archived emails that mention registering the build-helper-maven-plugin and using it to generate other associated artifacts. Should I use these plugins to generate the client jar? What is the best way of doing that? Or should I break this project into separate modules? If I break them into separate modules I suspect that I will need three modules: 1 - my-ws-client: classes and config files used by client only. 2 - my-ws: classes and config files used by the server only. 3 - my-ws-common: common classes, almost all interfaces, that the two previous modules depend on. Any help or reference to online docs/mail thread I have missed would be appreciated.
