Thanks Nicole. This works for me now using the transitive dependecies as suggested you and Olivier - so no need to create a zip. Actually we have multiple projects (X, Y, Z etc..) which need to depend on Project A (util_common) and each one might need to depend on different version of Project A. As I mentioned before Project A contains mulitple sub-projects (jars) which we want to represent as a single artifact (zip file) rather each project directly referencing sub-project jars. I think this might be best solution design wise for this problem. Let know if you feel otherwise.
