Re: very stupid question about lookup

Are you trying to use these as “remote” services or through some other IPC mechanism, or do you just mean you have independent projects, which happen to build some libraries, and you want to use libraries across the projects? A few more details about what you are doing may help.

I have in the past created platforms as module suites, and then applications used those as various sets of dependencies. Both were “module suites”, and I have used those across projects. The output of that is a cluster. I was using Maven for that. You need to include a dependency on your module suite from your suite or application, similar to the way there is a dep for the NB suite, and then the individual modules will have deps on the individual modules.

I will see about some Maven specific tutorial on that perhaps, but maybe this can help some along with its reference links:
