Hmm... you sure it involves copying files around. I was planning on setting the output classes directories (subproject/target/classes) in the classpath of higher-level subprojects.

Then, I'd run multiproject:goal with -Dgoal=java:compile? Any reason this wouldn't work?

Would this involve overwriting the default java:compile goals? I guess what I'm asking is how one can add directories to the default compile classpath.

Jarring doesn't take very much time at all and makes everything a lot cleaner.

If Jarring takes time, is it really that the test step in between
java:compile and jar:jar is slow?

This is a separate problem - there are ways to disable tests for
development, but its also  highly recommended you run them if they are
effective. If they are slow, perhaps you have some integration or
performance tests in there and should split them into special
integration test projects that can be run before releases instead of
every build.

I have a multiproject project with the following subprojects:
* maven.root - the multiproject root
* app-lib
* app-jms (depends on lib)
* app-gui (depends on lib, jms)

I'd like to be able to run java:compile on all of them and just generate
the .class files.  Then I realized this is easier said than done.
They're currently set up to reference the jar files generated in an
earlier module.  That is, the app-jms compilation process depends on
app-lib-{version}.jar

Jarring takes time, and it's not neccessary to run the application so
I'd like to avoid it except for the distribution build.  Any easy way to
not build jar files in a multiproject setup?
