Abstract it? I don't understand. The JDBC pom is just a seperate project. Like this:
JDBC POM: <project> ... <artifactId>my-jdbc-project</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <dependencies> ... add jdbc dependencies here, like mysql jdbc, or sqlserver jdbc ... </dependencies> </project> Then, in your project that needs to use the jdbc drivers: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>...</groupId> <artifactId>my-jdbc-project</artifactId> <version>...</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency> ....

So how to you use this abstract jdbc pom file? Do you include it as a dependency in your data access modules? Do you use it as the parent of your data access modules? jp4 Eric Redmond wrote: > > Yeah, I do this quite a lot - for example, to abstract jdbc > implementations > across and organization - all jars required go into a pom project called > "jdbc".
