[M2] merging separate CVS modules

[Stephen Hahn <st...@pmigroup.com>]

I am trying to use Maven 2 to build a series of WAR projects from an
existing CVS repository.  The developer has placed the source for the
war files in three separate modules: base; var1; var2.  Currently the
wars are created by checking out base and then overlaying any files
contained in var1 or var2, depending on which war is to be generated.  

Is it possible to do this in Maven 2?

If so what should the POM look like?

I'm a true newbie to all things java, maven, etc., although I do have
some familiarity with ant, so please be as specific as you can.

Thanking all in advance,
