Does this mean that if you build the child, it asks the parent to build? If
so, then that is interesting (not a problem - just unexpected.)
As far as I understand it Maven only builds "child" projects if the POM
includes a module entry for that "child". In general it applies a goal
on all included modules. These child modules won't even need a parent
entry. Maven just changes into the directory with name in the module entry.
The parent entry is more or less for inheriting common stuff. But it
won't instruct Maven to build the parent.
