Thanks Anders, those are good suggestions. I decided to remove the module pom and just have the entire project 2 levels deep. That will avoid a lot of uneeded complexity and confusion. This will also help with the current and future team members maven learning curve, and it follows the MC structure. I propose we name 2nd level directories like: | jboss-portal-modules-common/ | jboss-portal/ | jboss-portal-**-**/ (etc...) | I went ahead and deployed common to snapshots.jboss.org here. Ignore the jbossportal/, modules/, and common/ directories... I'm waiting on a response to remove those ;) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4090471#...
