I need to create a dependent maven project. The child one should be a jar, that would be called by the parent project which should be a war file. The steps should be like this. When I build the war, it should automatically build the jar file and include it and build the war and show output of the child jar (suppose a simple print statement).

Note: Build should be done only once and that is for building the final war. Need to edit the pom.xml accordingly.

I am new to maven,so a bit elaborate solution would be very helpful.

    Have you looked into "Maven modules" at all? What you want is a project with two modules, the war module depending on the jar module. – Boj Apr 22 '14 at 04:42
  • No, can you please suggest a good read about it? @Will – Aniruddha Apr 22 '14 at 05:47
  • Here's an example (I just Googled, nothing else). http://books.sonatype.com/mvnex-book/reference/multimodule-sect-simple-web.html – Boj Apr 22 '14 at 09:04
  • There's a lot of way you can configure yout project layout, but in your case i suggest to create a parent type pom, con childs module (the war one, the jar one, and others you want) this structure is recommended if you use the war project as UI container...
