This is a common pattern that fits nicely with dependency and assemly
plugins.
Here is the suggested structures.

parent
    pom.xml
    module1
    module2
    ......
    assemby-module

In the parent pom, define dependencyManagement section that all other sub
modules will share teh same
dependency info.

In you assembly-module, use dependency:copy to prepare a staging area that
assembly plugin can consume.
I would suggest to give maven-dependency-plugin a try, and file JIRA if it
does not work out for you.
dependency-maven-plugin at codehaus is EOL.

Hi.

Our project uses Maven2 to build some artifacts, and these artifacts and
their dependensies must be availible for the client. The client is BEA
Portal.

I want to fetch all my artifacts and their depencendies in one go!

I have looked at both dependency-maven-plugin (maven-dependency-plugin
seems to fail on me?) and maven-assembly-plugin.

My project is orginized with a master dir containing the parent pom, and
all modules as subprojects.

* Is the dependency plugin capable of handling modules (new in maven 2)?
If I have to configure every artifact I suppose it does not!
* I have to first run copy goal to copy artifacts, then
dependencies-copy. Also, will this have to be configured for each
artifact or only in parent pom (I guess the previous question will
answer this question)?
* Also how do I override property <outputDirectory> to go outside
basedir? I guess I always can post run an ant task but I would rather
override it.


Any help or tips is welcome.
