You could seperate your project into submodules, where you have two submodules:

  • common
  • dca

These submodules would be seperate Maven artifacts in the same groupId as you currently have. Any module containing submodules must be packaged as pom, and hence cannot contain source code itself.

Code that depends on either package (for example, some kind of user interface, or web components) would reside in another submodule, say web or gui, and that submodule would have a Maven dependency on the common or dca artifact.

Summarising, your structure would look like this:

  • root --> packaging pom
    • web --> packaging war
    • gui --> packaging jar
    • other --> packaging pom
      • dca --> packaging jar
      • common --> packaging jar

maven-jar-plugin can be customized to include / exclude specific file. You can achieve this by configuring in pom.xml like below.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
.
.
<configuration>
    <excludes>
        <exclude>**/model/*</exclude>
    </excludes>
</configuration> 
.
.
</plugin>
