They should be fully described, but the descriptions should come from
project foo's descriptor. They shouldn't be repeated N times across N
different project descriptors. The shared repository of project
information not here yet but that's where the info should come from. The

between projects.

Both of these should come from the project descriptor of the said
project. Vincent was talking about a <deliverables> element or something
similar that would declare artifacts to be exported. Jars produced could
definitely be one of them.

I think repeating this information is wrong. We need a shared repo of
information. When is that going to happen, I don't know. I updated the
new design document describing what's been done so far.

I think what is there now would work if the shared information was
present.
