[hibernate-dev] Simultaneously Supporting JDBC3 and JDBC4 with Maven

[Hardy Ferentschik]

Hi,

This my way or the highway approach within maven sucks. It did not use
to be this way. :(

Have you tried this approach? I guess from a maven point of view it
should be quite easy. Note sure how the IDE will behave. Do you have any
concrete problems?

Three modules might be more transparent for beginners, but as you say it
seems to be overhead.
