this is my way to solve dependencies.
I have 5 Projects, some are dependent of each other. Project E is dependent of Project A.
I have an reactor, starting all build Goals from Project A to E. I named the subfolders: 1_ProductA, 2_ProductB and so on.
Project A will be deployed as a snapshot to my local repository. In Project D I made a dependency from snapshot.jar of Project A.
Unfortunately, reactoring of reactors doesn't work. Seems to will be fixed in the next release. But than you have the full power of release management, as you can "build" your different release systems. And this is the power of maven. If you than also build your own plugins you are really flexible and this is the advantage of maven against ant.
Hope this helps a little bit

Hi,

well i really like maven very much but the documentation is a pain.
A lot of colleagues still prefer Ant since there is a central and clear documentation.
There is really enough maven documentation but it is not clear organized and very difficult to find the right information. Some part of the documentation are in conflict with each other. I think for example hibernate success based on a very smart documentation. Again it is just about organization the available information. I would wish i had the time to help solving this issue.... but you know the real developer world.
However i just wished to give this 2 cents, since it is the only problem i see with maven. ;)

Sorry I'm nervous since i try to solve since 2 days my simple problem with project dependencies.
I have 2 projects (model and view) on the same folder level. (Eclipse) One project depend on the other project so i wish to build the model project before the view project.
I had setuped a own goal "buildAll" by using reactor in my view project. Now i wish to install the buildAll goal als preGoal so that it is triggered any time i run a test jar or site:generate.
I was trying init, artifact:load or java:compile but it does not run my "buildALL" goal.
Is there any standard goal that is invoked as first and every-time any goal is invoked?
Does the multi-project solve such dependency builds? I only found some documentation about using multi-project in parallel project scenarios.
Thanks for any hints! Stefan
