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.
The problem with this approach is that all modules now have extra bits on their class-path, which is not desired.
Also, I have tried using SNAPSHOT for intra-project depends, but Maven still tries to download newer versions from the remote repo which is silly and just slows things down.
