Enterprise java architect with 10+ years experience. My primary focus is lightweight agile technoligies including Spring, Tomcat, Grails, Tapestry and GWT. I'm a BIG fan of TDD, it took me a few years to be fully 'converted' but now I am there's no going back! I now see unit and integration testing as a fun activity that is as interesring as coding itself. I also have a keen interest in security including cryptography and other secure programming techniques.

I've worked across industries including banking, insurance, telecomms and media in Europe and the US. I now live in London although I spend a lot of time overseas in the US and continental Europe

comment Intellij - How to link modules for maven goal
Thanks, the problem is not a maven one, I can successfully build the project using maven. What I was hoping to do was to see a change made in project A reflected in project B in IntelliJ without having to rebuild all the projects. This already happens within the IDE i.e. if I comment out a method in servlet-filter the IDE immediately complains that filter-example is calling a non-existant method. However if i use IntelliJ to run a maven goal e.g. jetty:run it will work because it's still using the old classes in my local repo.
