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.
Sorry Sean, I missed that in my last response. My understanding and
experiences mirrors Arvid's.
TTFN,
