Ulli Adrion commented on MNG-3589: ---------------------------------- You're right. I've tried to comprehend the problem with a easy dummy project. The solution is that A and B are in m1 and C in m2. If I build m1 separately it worked because I had build m2 before. We have solved the problem with some refactoring.
