want to package the source as a JAR (so other projects can mark it is as a
dependency) as well as a WAR for deploying directly.
I'm able to create 2 packages currently, but when I try to include the JAR

Take a look at assemblies. That will allow you to package your source
in a jar or tarball.
To create an assembly, you need the assembly plugin in your pom.xml,
and you need to define an assembly file which describes what will be
in your assembly (usually stored in /src/main/assembly. Optionally,
I looked at assemblies as an option and while I think that may be possible I
decided to go with a 1:1 pom-artifact ratio. I split my WAR artifact into a
separate project/module which depends on the JAR created by the main module.

You'll find that having your code split apart will also lead you down
the path to better interfaces. So, that extra overhead will pay big
dividends in the
