include all java packages ofa module in his child

[Nicola Benaglia <ni...@tecno-progetti.eu>]

Hi,
I started up a project consisting of 3 modules (to learn maven):

commons
client
server

client and server depends on commons and I want to open the client.jar 
and see all packages of commons + all packages of client.

So far I open client.jar and see only its packages and not its father's 
one (commons) as I was expected.

Could you please help me?

Thank you,
Nicola

This is simply an incorrect assumption on your part.

If you use <modules> and set up <dependencies> between them etc, the
code will be packaged up in its own module-specific jar. So you would
expect to only see commons-specific code in the commons.jar, and
client-specific code in the client.jar. This is how Maven works
without additional configuration.

There are ways to put all the code in one big jar, but this is not the
default and not the normal way to use Maven. Google (or search the
Maven website) for "jar-with-dependencies" and the assembly plugin for
more details. Or search the Maven Users archive, this comes up every
couple of weeks.
