Optional for what? > Is there any recommended path ? Not sure about recommended, but HttpComponents and BSF3 both have multiple modules/jars. In both cases, the top-level directory has a POM that invokes lower-level modules. These modules are at the same depth within SVN, not nested - I don't know if it's possible to define nested modules in Maven. See: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/ and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/bsf/branches/bsf3.x/ Alternatively, maybe it is possible to tweak the Maven assembly process to generate two jars from a single build. Perhaps ask on the Maven user list? > Thanks > Henrib > > -- > View this message in context: > http://n4.nabble.com/JEXL-Best-way-to-generate-2-jars-tp932248p932248.html > Sent from the Commons - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
