@Anders, @Wayne, @Werner: thanks for the clarifications, they fully answered my 
immediate queries.

However, I do have one follow-up question. It seems that in the case of 
webapps/web services it make sense to use maven (sub)modules, to that end how 
many (sub)modules should one use? Is there a recommended/best practice? For 
example does the following set of (sub)modules make sense?

web-service/ <-- directory that contains parent POM
| models/ (maven sub-module for entities)
| persistence/ (maven sub-module for DAOs)
| service/ (maven sub-module for web service logic)
| webapp/ (maven sub-module for the web app)
