how to write Maven dependency on sub-module of a package

I'm at the beginning to move to Maven so I have no pom.xml at the moment. My project depends on only a subset of modules of another project which is not mine. They have the list of modules listed in their pom which is distributed. How do I state the dependency on the specific jars (which presumably are contained in the downloaded jar) in my pom.xml?

If your other project is organized into sub-maven-modules with their own pom.xml, then the <groupId>, <artifactId>, <version> nodes of these sub-maven-modules will be included as in your main project.

E.g.

project 1
  |- common
       |- pom.xml
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>common</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
  |- util
       |- pom.xml
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>util</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
  |- domain
       |- pom.xml
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>domain</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
  |- service
       |- pom.xml
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>service</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
  |- webapps
       |- pom.xml
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>webapps</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>

In project 2, if you just want only the common, util and domain and domain modules, then pom.xml for this project would contain the following dependencies:

<dependencies>

    ...

    <dependency>
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>common</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>util</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
          <groupId>com.project1</groupId>
          <artifactId>domain</artifactId>
          <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>

    ...

</dependencies>

Hope this helps!
