child project jar has wrong packaging exception from parent project: how-to-fix?

[David Brown <da...@davidwbrown.name>]

Hello maven dev, gurus and users. I have a curious situation from attempting to create a jar of the generated /CLASSES directory as generated from the parent project pom.xml.  The existing parent project directory and pom.xml executes correctly and generates the expected (dot).war. In the parent directory I have a second sub-directory named: ./jar as the child project directory. The child project directory has its own pom.xml w/ the sole purpose of generating a (dot).jar file referencing selected classes generated in the parent project directory. The child project pom.xml returns the following exception condition upon execution of: mvn install. TIA and please advise, David.
