1) you can make the packaging type of the project jar
2) add a config for the war plugin to execute war...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1-alpha-1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>war</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>
<classifier>application</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
3) this gives you a jar and a war
4) you can then depend upon the jar (default) artifact to get the deps of this
project and if you need to
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b</groupId>
<artifactId>a.b.c</artifactId>
<version>[1,2-!)</version>
</dependency>
5) to use this war as an underlay you can depend on the project with
classifier 'application'
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b</groupId>
<artifactId>a.b.c</artifactId>
<version>[1,2-!)</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
