Maven modules - produce artifact with a mixture of sources from multiple modules

We have a mul开发者_StackOverflowti module maven project with the following layout

project - common (contains DTOs and other utils) - business (containes business services) - presentation (presentation related)

Now, we have a webservice exposed from business module and we have to give a jar file with just service interface (from 'business' module) and DTOs (from 'common' module) to a dependent application which wants to consume the web service.

What is the best way to produce this artifact using maven?

Most elegant way I could find to solve the problem (without breaking Maven recommendation of one project, one artifact principle) is as below.

Create a maven module named web-services and use CXF-Maven plugin to generate the classes required for consuming the webservice. The artifact produced (jar) will have the required classes to be distributed to web service clients.

Removing the child module for webservice from parent project's POM xml should help (if i understood the question correctly).
