Now it seems to work! Still got a long way to go but that is a big step
forward. thx.
I think the problem was that I was referencing clienta-war and clientb-war
as modules from generic-war. Another problem I had was that I wasn't using
the "type" property in the dependency tag so it was looking for
generic-war.jar.
One thing that also caught me off guard is it appears that I have to
reference the clienta-war and clientb-war as modules in my main project
pom. Is that correct?
