Re: [m2e-users] multimodule setup

Thanks, Rafał.

Why do you say it's less hassle the flat way?  Is that because of 
version control, or what?

When you say, "Maven's native layout" what does that mean?  Is there 
some particular archetype that creates it for you that way, or what?

I wound up taking a few hours of frantically trying this and trying 
that, coming up with something that worked, without fully understanding 
what I was doing (I suspect I was taking advantage of Eclipse 
functionality that might not be repeatable outside of Eclipse) and wound 
up with a layout in between your Eclipse and Maven models (everything 
flat under the parent - only 1 level of nesting):

-parent pom
  -ear
  -war 1
  -war 2
  -utilty jar 1

I'd really like to come up with a standard methodology that works and 
that I understand, so thanks for your help.  It bothers me that I don't 
fully understand what I just did.

At some point maybe even convert the methodology into an archetype that 
would be repeatable, but that is currently beyond my skill set.  I have 
no idea how archetypes are created.
