Maven Build Plugin - Including Classes from Another Module
I have a multi-module project and I am trying to create a compiled file in SubProject2 that includes some of its classes plus some DTOs defined in SubProject1. However, the Proc.jar file only has Proc.class and com \ myproy \ spr \ dto * .class, whereas the SubProject1 files (com \ myproy \ dto * .class) are not included and cannot find a way to make it work.
Layout of projects:
Parent
|-pom.xml

SubProject1
|-pom.xml
|-src\main\java\com\myproy\dto
|-src\main\java\com\myproy\util
|
SubProject2

|-src\assembly\def.xml
|-src\main\java\com\myproy\spr

Correct me if I misunderstand you. You need some functionality, which is in SubProject1. And you only want this functionality (no more) and you cannot include the entire SubProject1 as a dependency.
So if I understand correctly, you can extract this functionality in another project (something like Commons) and add it as a dependency in SubProject1 and SubProject2.
