You should be able to use includes/excludes to select particular folders (and even files) that you want to bundle up into various Jars. If you're really only building one WAR file, then you could arguably just bundle all the code into a single Jar, and stick that in the War, and things should depl

well at the end of the compile, and package there should be only 1 WAR file, but the problem right now is figuring out how to make jars out of different folders, and different files in each part of the Main project (different projects folders). Manos Batsis wrote: > > > > A major issue if you

I'll go out on a limb and say a non-programmer without any Maven experience has less than a 5% chance of doing this in 2 weeks. Unless the project is extremely simple... and you've already said it is complex. I've previously helped someone in a similar situation and it was not fun for either of us,

How complex is the project, and what was it using to build before? Complexity is in terms of the number of different types of packagings used, number of different entry points into the build, etc...not just the number of projects. If the previous build was Ant, and the projects can be categ
