I do understand the dependency and packaging concepts, but I failed to get it working by refering to another artifact even though i ran "mvn install" on the dependent artifact. (ok, it only installed it in my local repository, but that shouldn't matter?) But this is the way it is supposed to work apparently?
So, the EAR packaging is actually just an artifact packaging a bunch of other artifacts into an EAR package? The documentation for the EAR plugin describes this badly... also, what packaging types should the referred packages have? I assume jar? //Kent 2008/7/22 Stefan Seidel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > It is really very easy, you add the artifacts you want to include in the > EAR as dependencies to the pom.xml.
