How to delay a Hudson build until its dependencies are built?

Our build consists of two projects, a library project and a web front end project that depends on the library project.

The Hudson jobs are configured from the maven pom.xml files and the dependency appears on Hudson as downstream/upstream project. Both jobs use the "poll SCM" build trigger and everything works as intended when only one the projects changes.

The problem arises when a commit contains changes in both projects, so Hudson starts a build of both projects at the same time and usually the web project build fails because it is using an older version of the library project.

Can I configure Hudson to delay the execution of the web project build if there is a build running the library project?

+1  A: 

Isn't the web project and the other project located in a different area of the version control? ON the other hand you can define upstream or downstream dependencies and say only start if the build went well.

I've updated the question with more detail on the hudson jobs configuration.

You can simple add an upstream dependency and say hudson to wait until the upstream dependency is ready (there is a checkbox if clicking on advance)..just a moment do you have a multimodule build in Maven? You have setup different projects for library and the web project?

The "advanced project options" there you find "Block build when upstream project is building" which you need to activate depending on the direction of dependency you created.

Thanks, I've missed the "advanced project options" section
