How to configure a subproject dependency in Maven without deploying jars?

Question

I googled this and it seems that no one has an answer, yet it seems like such an elementary thing that it should be possible.

I have the following project structure:

Answer 1

You should have a master pom at parent's level, in which you will list the modules of your project.

  
    sub-project1
    sub-project2>
  

In each subproject you have to reference your parent:

    parent
    mygroup
    1.0-SNAPSHOT

And you specify the dependencies between the project just as you did. I think you've missed some of the steps I've described.

Edit: you should issue your mvn clean install at the parent level.
