multi-module/subproject projects with interdependencies

[Rob McAuliffe <Ro...@volantis.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a project which has multiple modules to compile at the 
top level.   Some of my submodules have dependencies on each other - eg 
i have A B and C submodules, and C depends on B, but A doesn't.  
Currently when I run mvn package from the top level project, each 
subproject/submodule gets built, but it fails on the ones that depend on 
their peers (eg. fails on C in previous example)  saying that it can't 
find the jar.  I can obviously jump into the directory and run an 
'install', but that's not neat, or I can run "mvn install package", but 
that's not massively neat either.

This is part of a larger attempt to get the whole build process 
integrated across multiple projects stored in separate locations in 
version control, so I really need an automated solution.

Is there an existing approach/recommended best way to do this?

Thanks,

Rob

If you have <parent>, <modules>, and <dependencies> tags set up
properly in the various poms, this should all "just work". There's a
ton of us who are doing exactly this day in and day out.

I think you've got something wrong in your poms. If you can't figure
it out, feel free to post them on pastebin.org and someone will
probably take a look, no guarantees of course. ;-)
