Hi Pieter, you could use a project layout like this
+--project +--shared +--client +--server A few quick remarks +) the server part should not depend on the client or the other way round - therefore a common subproject +) sharing in Maven speak means installing the shared component library into the local repository and reference it from the dependent project +) with a little bit of tinkering you can also upload the sources into your local repository Cheers, Siegfried Goeschl PS: Not sure if NetBeans is a good choice considering that Oracle buys Sun pieter claassen wrote: > I am trying to move to netbeans for dev so it is a good question > whether I need the source or just the compiled code.
