Ah, thanks, I was wondering if that was the case.  I'll re-jig my module 
a bit to produce a jar file as well as a war file then.  I was hoping to 
get away with just producing one artifact :)

Unfortunately this won't remove any circularities, as the hacks 
themselves depend on other parts of the dspace-api :)  But they should 
always compile against the published dspace-api maven artifact, so I'm 
not so worried.

Cheers,

Richard
