Is it common/good practice to reference server in client?

[LeiYangGH]

In multiple projects, the client pom.xml uses

        <dependency>
            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
            <artifactId>*-grpc-server</artifactId>
            <version>${project.version}</version>
        </dependency>

I know this way the client can reuse the generated grpc classes. But beside this way, are there any better ways, for example, server and client both reference same proto file, and use plugin to generated their own classes?
