Answer 1

First you should create a folder structure like this:
+-- root (pom.xml)
+--- mod-war (pom.xml)
+--- mod-ear (pom.xml)
Add the mod-war as a dependency to the mod-ear. Make the packging of mod-war war whereas the packaging of mod-ear ear.
Apart from that follow the default folder layout structure instead of changing it cause it's not neccessary.
