dependency management in sub-sub-module

Dear all

I have module structure with two levels of sub-modules.

The root level pom defines a dependency managment section which is 
working fine for sub-modules. But for a deeper level, the dependency 
management section of the root pom apparently is not available any more ...

root
 +- module1  <-- working fine
 +- module2  <-- working fine
 +- clients
     +- client1 <-- compile errors ...
     +- client2 <-- compile errors ...

During build, the system does not complain about unsatisfied 
dependencies, but in the compile phase the compiler cannot find the symbols.

Would anyone have an idea what I could be doing wrong here?  Any advice 
would be gratefully appreciated ...

Many, many thanks!

Markus

Re: dependency management in sub-sub-module

Posted by Robert Glover <ro...@yahoo.com>.

I'm new to Maven so take this with a grain of salt, but I don't see why you can't just do: 

...snip...
<modules>
   <module>module1</module>
   <module>module2</module>
   <module>client1</module>
   <module>client2</module>
</modules>
...snip...
