Multiple projects under 1 war

[Donald Ness <Do...@datatrak.net>]

Why can't I create a parent project that's of war packaging? I have N
number of subprojects under a single parent pom. All N of those
subprojects are listed as modules. Under the parent pom I have 1
subproject that all the rest of the subprojects depend on (the "core")
at compile time. I want the parent pom to build all the N subprojects,
including the core, listed in it's modules section and merge them all
together in a single war.

This is proving to be very difficult since a war can't be a parent
pom... and the war overlay technique isn't working for me. Do I need to
write a custom plugin to do this?

Thanks,
Don

Here's how I do it:

project/pom.xml
modules: common, ejb, war, ear

project/common/pom.xml
parent: ../pom.xml
depends: none

project/ejb/pom.xml
parent: ../pom.xml
depends: common

project/war/pom.xml
parent: ../pom.xml
depends: common, ejb

project/ear/pom.xml
parent: ../pom.xml
depends: common, ejb, war

No custom plugin required. Just set the dependencies in your WAR to be
all your other subprojects.
