Hi, Kundig

This is precisely type of a problem where Ivy shines.

On our large JavaEE project we have many JavaEE modules / applications. =
We have
standardized across the board to have the following Ivy configurations =
in our
modules:

- "compile". Determines compile-time classpath.

- "war". Determines what JARs go into WEB-INF/lib. Also, the special =
case is a
dependency on a WAR artifact, in which case, it is expanded and consumed
(i.e. packaged) into an output WAR

- "ear". Determines what JARs go into an EAR.

Additional configurations that might be useful, could be "test" (in our =
case we
simply use "compile" for test targets), and "ide" to pull sources and =
JavaDocs
into IvyDE.

And of course, you can tweak what configurations you decide to have to =
your heart's content.
