I have a large Java Web Application project using Maven and I need to start a new project that will share most of the same code (so I don’t have to repeat work), but not all of it. I’m going to copy the shared code into a new project (let’s call it “root”). How do I make my original Project depend on root for source code? I can’t just jar it because I want to change the source before compiling.

    You should refactor your projects.

    1. Identify the common code
    2. Extract that into its own maven module
      2.1. usually web-apps are multi module, so if you are going to share the common library across two web-apps, then separate the common library out into its own group-id
    3. Build and install the jar file into your repository
    4. change the poms of the web-apps to depend on your new library
