classpath used to build a module affects compile classpath for building another module

• Complexity:

  Intermediate

Here's my project layout:

daytrader/
ejb/
streamer/

where streamer depends on the ejb-client produced by the ejb/ build.

If I do a "mvn install" in daytrader/ the build works. If I do it in streamer/ it fails.

After investigation the problem was that the ejb-client produced by the ejb module was excluding by default a class required to compile streamer/.

The build when run at the top level should have failed when building the streamer/ module.
