Hello Jesse... I agree with your principle of doing things the "maven way" and Maven's principle of "convention over configuration".
I actually am using common code in both projects... This was the project that I referred to as the "myOverlayWebapp.war" project... I am trying to use war overlays for the common web components and the common classes. Do you see a reason why Syed's suggestion wouldn't work? Perhaps I have misunderstood your post and you are sugesting that I do not try to keep the classes in the overlay project but instead place them in a 4th project (separate from the shared webapp artifacts within the overlay WAR). I would hope that I could keep all shared files in the overlay webapp...
