My question surrounds dependencies, and while I understand how to declare a dependency, what I want to know is how I make maven recompile dependencies.So if A depends on B, and I run 'mvn jar' in project B, how can I make it recompile (and I guess, run 'mvn install') in A? My scenerio is that I will be making changes to both A and B, but both are separate projects and I don't want to have to run 'mvn install' in A before doing anything with project B. Obviously, if A depends on B, A will not compile if B has been modified in some way given A fetches A.jar from the repository. Neither A or B share a common parent. In fact, they could easily have different parents.
Having read and reread this, my gut feeling is that you're potentially trying to make a simple problem into a complicated one.
If A depends on B, and you want to B to trigger stuff happening in A, that sounds like a classic circular dependency problem, which is broken regardless of what build strategy you use.
Can you describe in more detail what problem you are trying solve? Regards, Graham --
