[jira] Commented: (MNG-955) There should be possible to use artifacts instead of project references in multi module projects

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-955?page=comments#action_49852 ] 

Barry Kaplan commented on MNG-955:
----------------------------------

I agree with Rafal, direct project references is critical. And since eclipse already does not have any clean way to seperate dependency types then yes, all the libraries in a referenced project should be exported and hence available the referencing project.

The eclipse plugin seems to imply that it already will do this. But this is not what I am seeing. I get only jar references via the local repository.

For us, this is pretty a show-stopper. My team won't use maven if it means they can't directly navigate in eclipse. (Well, at least it means that eclipse project will need to be manually created.)

> One of the fine things with maven is that one can have several modules in a project. 
> But in the eclipse plugin all dependent modules in the project is added as a project reference instead of using the delivered artifact.
> As a result i have to have all my modules (eclipse projects) opened just to compile in eclipse.
> I think this should be an option. e.g.
> <useProjectReference>true</useProjectReference>
> with this set to true as default, but when false, the classpath should use a reference to the jar in local repos as all other artifacts
