Thanks Steve! In your experience, is it better to have the parent project as a separate project all-together or include it? For example I tried it both ways and both approaches work technically:
Mydata project.xml (extends conf/project-dependencies.xml) conf/project-dependencies.xml (hibernate dependency declared) Myweb project.xml (extends Mydata/conf/project-dependencies.xml) Or: Mywebdata project.xml (hibernate dependency) Mydata project.xml (extends Mywebdata/project.xml) Myweb project.xml (extends Mywebdata/project.xml) The downside I see with the latter approach is that a developer then has to checkout 3 CVS modules where one module basically has one file in it. Also if I later created a "Mywebservices" project that depends on Mydata it would then need to extend "Mywebdata/project.xml" as well for it to get the hibernate dependency. The first approach feels a touch kludgy though because I had to put project-dependencies.xml in a sub-directory so that projects extending it did not also inherit Mydata/maven.xml. I don't have a lot of experience with Maven yet though so I'm hoping other people have run into this and can share their experiences!
