When you specified the dependency, did you specify the "type"? Your dependency should look something like:
<dependency> <groupId>com.contentconnections.mpl</groupId> <artifactId>mpl-common-webapp</artifactId> <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <type>war</type> </dependency> --David -----Original Message----- From: Richard Wallace [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 11:03 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [m2] war as a dependency I checked out the source for the maven-war-plugin and installed it in my local repository. But when I try and do a 'mvn war:war' I'm still getting required artifacts missing: com.contentconnections.mpl:mpl-common-webapp:jar:0.1-SNAPSHOT So it looks like maven is still trying to download the artifact as a jar instead of as a war which is what mpl-common-webapps packaging is defined to be in it's pom. Do I also need to use a snapshot version of maven to make this work or is there something else I'm missing?
