Hi Simon, Thanks for your answer. I also thought about the multi-module but that's more difficult to implement for us. In fact I think we addressed the problem in the wrong : instead of adding the compilation to a pom packaging, just add a custom packaging to a jar packaging :) I'll try to do it that way.
