Peter, I don't think a Maven solution is what you need. I think you need to rethink the packaging and dependencies of your 2 projects. It sounds like your interface project shouldn't depend on the Factory in the implementation project.
You could organise this a couple of different ways: 1) The Factory class could ship with interface project. 2) Ship a Factory interface with your interface project, and ship the Factory impl in the other project. Hope this helps.

So if this question is already answered in a public available document I'd be happy to get the link. I have a project that should be a library to encapsulate the logger being used in all other projects. From this project I create two JAR files: one containing the interface(s) and a factory, the other one containing the implementation classes. By now I'm trying to switch to use Maven2 for project management and dependency tracking, but I'm still unable to get the two jars out of Maven build process. Therefore I've tried to split the project up into two projects to have two artifacts. But than I end up in a cyclic dependency: Interface project depends on implementation project for the factory to compile; Implementation project depends on interface project for the implementation class to compile (Class implements Interface). A deadlock :-( Anybody out there with an idea how to solve this problem "the Maven2 way"? I'd be happy with a hint on - either how to influence the packaging process for getting two JARs (artifacts?) from one POM - or how to tell the two Maven2 projects they belong "somehow together" for dependency resolution in a way it's done as if this were one project Thanks a lot in advance, -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther "Bother," said Pooh as he found he'd used a dirty needle --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
