Hi,
You build 5 projects :)
Serioulsy, I usually separate projects like this one into many (maven)
submodules, starting just like he/you offered:
common
server
client
and all three submodules are embedded in one top-level project.
So, a maven project layout:
projectX
Xcommon (ifaces, common VOs, etc)
src
xdoc
pom.xml
Xserver (server)
src
xdoc
pom.xml (deps is Xcommon)
Xclient (client)
src
xdoc
pom.xml (deps is Xcommon)
xdoc...
etc...
pom.xml
Let's suppose that all these POMs are producing JARs.
If you need EAR deployment from projectX, take another projectX-EAR
(even sourceless, or just with EJB descriptors in src) and let it depend
from XServer and it will make you EJB. If you also need WAR, make
another projectX-WAR (same as for EJB). Don't be afraid to divide and
conquer. :)
Even if it seems at first that there is no reason to cut the project in
so many small pieces, later you will discover that it is the right way
to go.
All my collegues that had bad dreams using maven (Maven1) was doing the
_same_ error: trying to build more than one artifact (JAR, WAR, EAR,
etc) from one POM. DO NOT DO IT :)
bye
