Your email lost its formatting. Please post on pastebin or a similar site and send the url as it is unclear what you are working with. In general, if you want 2 jars, you should make 2 modules which means 2 poms and 2 directories. If one set of files depends on the other (impl dep on api), then you should set dependencies between them etc as needed.

Re: custom jar contents?
Simple answer : If you need two jars then your project needs to be broken into two separate projects. To get a better understanding I would like to know why you require to have two jars ? different configurations ? optional components ? Believe me here I got through this a while ago on Maven and the best answer I found was to rethink long and hard as to why I needed this done, and the answer was that, in all things were made a lot simpler if I simple split the project in two separate jars then have a top level project to generate the actual package. Sometimes this top level package does not contain code at all, just POM and other declarations to determine the final packaging. For this I use the assembly plugin ( http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/) and generate a zip file with all needed for the software in a single archive. This being said... if you absolutely neeed the extra jars and spliting the code makes absolutely no sense the it is most probably possible to use the assembly plugin to bend the one project one jar rule. to summarize, at first I found Maven very frustrating to use until I found out that rethinking the way a project should be laid-out and how it should be built and packaged to follow Maven's philosophy it made things much more simple in the long run. After I changed to bend my habits to maven instead of the opposite I discovered I was spending MUCH less time managing the projects and packages and much more time actually coding and getting things done.
