dependency-maven-plugin question

[Marc Chételat ML]

Hi all,

I m currently migrating from Ant 1.6.5 to Maven 2.0.4 a project with 
multiple modules as follow :

<Project root path> (pom.xml with each subdirectory as <module>)
|
|--- applet
|--- sharedlib
|--- ejbmodule-jar
|--- webapp1-war
|--- webapp2-war
|--- finalpackage-ear
|...

With the help of Geoffrey (thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing-list) I used the 
plugin "dependency-maven-plugin" from Mojo to compile the applet and 
then copy it in a webapp. Here's a part of the pom.xml of webapp1:

...
<plugin>       
       <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>dependency-maven-plugin</artifactId>
       <executions>
         <execution>
           <id>copy-applet</id>
           <phase>process-resources</phase>
           <goals>
             <goal>copy</goal>
           </goals>
           <configuration>
               <artifactItems>
                 <artifactItem>
                    <artifactId>appletplayer</artifactId>
                    <groupId>com.test</groupId>
                    <version>2.0</version>
                    <type>jar</type>
                 </artifactItem>
                </artifactItems>
              <outputDirectory>./target/webapp1/applet</outputDirectory>
              <stripVersion>true</stripVersion>              
           </configuration>
         </execution>
       </executions>
     </plugin>
...

To build the all, I always typed "mvn package" from the <project root 
directory> ... but since the dependency-maven-plugin, I must install the 
applet module with typing "mvn install" ... if not, Maven try to 
download the package from the repositories...
Other issue, sharedlib.jar module is defined as a <dependency> for the 
webapp1-war module and then put in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the war 
package. But for this it's work without installing the sharedlib in the 
local repository...

My questions are: With my comprehension of Maven, I don't have to 
install a "module" of my project in the local respository... isn't it? 
Or is my comprehension wrong? ... or perhaps I m using the plugin wrong? 
or... have you another solution to use the command "mvn package" and 
build my project to get a marvelous ear file and deploy it on my server?

Thanks in advance for any helps!

Regards,
ML
