Can you share the relevant pom snippet as well as the command you are running? Also, is EJB dependant on Object - Raghuram 2012-04-04 04:25

The easiest way is to add a dependency from EJB to Object.

But if that dependency doesn't exist, why do you care which one builds first?

Does it mean that build order is determined implicitly by Maven - Oh Chin Boon 2012-04-04 15:46

When inside a reactor, maven guarantees that projects are built in dependency order. Which makes sense as you want your downstream projects to be built using your upstream/library code rather than some potentially stale artifact obtained from who knows where - ptyx 2012-04-05 02:22
