Hi,
In svn we have our projects organized in a flat hierarchy like this:
myproject/myartifactparent/pom.xml
myproject/myartifactjar/pom.xml
myproject/myartifactear/pom.xml
myproject/myartifactwar/pom.xml
myproject/myartifactparent/pom.xml looks like this:
...
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>mygroup</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifactparent</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<modules>
<module>../myartifactjar</module>
<module>../myartifactwar</module>
<module>../myartifactear</module>
</modules>
...
My question is the following. To build the whole project we use
myproject/myartifactparent/pom.xml and we issue 'mvn install'. We would like
to be able to just use 'mvn package' but apparently it not enough as module
dependencies specified in the modules section of
myproject/myartifactparent/pom.xml are not honoured as we thought. If
myartifactwar depends on myartifactjar, myartifactjar is fetched from the
Maven repository and not from the target directory of the myartifactjar
directory that has just been build. Is this the right behaviour of Maven? If
so it would be a nice feature if one could build a multiproject without
being forced to install artifacts locally.
/MH
