The basic idea with Maven is that one Maven project produces one artifact. An artifact could be a jar file, a war file, a zip file, or pretty much anything. There are possibilities to force Maven to produce more than one artifact though. Normally that's not the right road, but it's your choice. This is different from normal usage with Ant where you often have an ant script producing, for instance, several jar files, war file(s) and the ear including these. It's just a different mind set. You just have more "projects". I think it is good, because it encourages a better design and you'll easier find circular dependencies between jars/libraries.
