Answer 1

There's an "easier" way to accomplish this, without having to paste the same snippet all over your modules. You can set up a reactor and then you refer to it from all the other modules, like this:

  
    com.foo.bar
    reactor    
    1.0-SNAPSHOT
  

In the pom file of your reactor you have to put this:

pom

To let maven know that it's not a jar/war, etc.

Hope it helps
