Hi Brian, sorry that I forgot the dependency. It is declared in the variations-parent POM:
<dependency> <groupId>de.smartics.timesheet</groupId> <artifactId>timesheet-ejb-core</artifactId> <version>${depVersion.timesheet-ejb-core}</version> <classifier>tests</classifier> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <depVersion.timesheet-ejb-core>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</depVersion.timesheet-ejb-core> since I require the non-classifier form, too, this dependency is also included (but should do no harm): <!-- Every variation depends on the core artifact. --> <dependency> <groupId>de.smartics.timesheet</groupId> <artifactId>timesheet-ejb-core</artifactId> <version>${depVersion.timesheet-ejb-core}</version> <type>ejb</type> <!-- The persistency.xml file is required to be placed in the jar's META-INF where the entity classes are packed. Therefore we explode the core jar and repack it. So the dependency here is 'provided' to not make this transitive dependent... --> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> I used this environment: PROMPT>mvn -version Maven version: 2.0.8 Java version: 1.6.0_04 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" I did not find 2.0.9-RC8, hope this version from svn helps: PROMPT>mvn -version Maven version: 2.0.9-RC9-SNAPSHOT Java version: 1.6.0_04 OS name: "windows xp" version: "5.1" arch: "x86" Family: "windows" The jar-plugin is the recent version (declared in the root project's POM): <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> </plugin> To reproduced the problem with this new environment I did the following: 1. Removed all timesheet artifacts from the local repository. 2. Commented out the build-helper-plugin in the core-module. 3.

Any artifacts not already in your local repository will be inaccessible. Now I use the buildhelper plugin, run "maven -o clean package" again.

With the buildhelper everything runs fine! Hope this helps? Regards, Robert Brian E Fox wrote: > > What you have looks fairly correct.
