As long as maven is used to handle the dependencies for you, this is actually the better way to do it. Reason being, if there's a bugfix in say a component, it doesn't require the entire stack to be rebuilt. Instead, interim releases of certain modules can be made for rapid development/release rather than having to build/release the entire stack to address critical bug fixes in one module. Think microsoft service pack and you get an idea of the kind of hell that can result.
