combining project.xml and maven.xml (maven.xml is your jelly script) inheritance
with SNAPSHOT dependencies and the 'jar:install-snapshot' goal works wonders.
Write a base project.xml containing the common deps (like commons-logging) and
other common info, write a base maven.xml that fires up a reactor that calls the
'jar:install-snapshot' goal, and life will be much easier already. Declare all
intra-project dependencies as SNAPSHOT to make sure you always get the latest
generated jar.
You can see a setup like this in action in the avalon-components cvs module and
inside avalon-sandbox/merlin as well. I'm sure Steve (who set that up) borrowed
ideas from other projects that work like this :D
hope that helps,
