What type of projects are A and B? Jars? War and jar? Jar is not meant to be deployed, so it doesn't "grab" it dependent projects, it just references them for compiling (or testing). A war is meant to be deployed on its own, so its dependencies are pulled into it's WEB-INF/lib directory along with it when it's packaged up into a .war file artifact.
If you specify all your dependencies with scope of "compile", then they will all be pulled into the eventual war file, or other deployable artifact. Does that help explain things? -----Original Message----- From: Brad O'Hearne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 5:49 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Need help setting up a transitive dependency Dov, Thanks for the reply. Ok, so this isn't going to trigger a build of project A, its just going to pull project A from the repository as it would any other dependency. Is this correct, or am I still missing something? How do I get project B to automatically pull all of project A's dependencies along with project A? Will this happen automatically?
