Thanks Ben. I've been looking at Vincents slides and other articles on how to do it. I've no real problem in adopting the Maven 'standard' of sub-projects for JAR, WAR, EAR - it makes a lot of sense. Having adopted this standard, the problem areas are how to a). build projects with sub-projects etc. b). generate suitable documentation for the overall project. On the first issue, with Ant you can obviously do hierarchies of projects, yet with Maven I've seen no reference to a similar facility. I can clearly go into each sub-project and build that part (or even write preGoal and postGoal for each sub-project to build other bits maybe), but what about streamlining the whole thing ? Maybe if there was a space in the project.xml to identify the locations of sub-projects, and so if I typed 'maven build' or 'maven install' at the top level it would go through the sub-projects and build/install them. Maven is early in its lifecycle and so I can see why this maybe isn't there yet. On the second issue, it would be nice to have the overall project docs show the fact that there are sub-projects and have (in the navigation bar) sections for each sub-project (Javadocs, checkstyle, etc). That way the docs for the whole project would be integrated.
