Answer 1

super_aardvark suggested correct way but,
For requirement I would suggest following structure It is suitable and good structure also :

Consedering ProjectA as project-webapp , ProjectB as project-core

You can have following structure :

Your Grand Project :

    4.0.0

    com.mycompany.project
    project
    2.0-SNAPSHOT
    pom

    Project Repository System
    Project Repository System R2

    
        project-core
        project-webapp
    
 

Your WebApp Project:

    
        com.mycompany.project
        project
        2.0-SNAPSHOT
    
    4.0.0
    project-webapp
    2.0-SNAPSHOT
    war
    Project Web Application
    Project Repository
    
            com.mycompany.project
            project-core
            2.0-SNAPSHOT
     

 

Your Core Project:

    
        com.mycompany.project
        project
        2.0-SNAPSHOT
    
    4.0.0
    project-core
    2.0-SNAPSHOT
    jar
    Project Core
    ProjectCore

 

Your Directory structure should look like:

-------Grand Parent.pom
  |
  |--------project-webapp
  |                     |
  |                     project-webapp.pom
  | 
  | -------project-core.pom
                        |
                       project-core.pom

From parent pom execute mvn clean install it will build both the web-app and core project
