-------------------------------------
You are bascially looking for mixins to solve your problems.
> Allow parent to prevent inheritance of some items
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6940
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6940
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Rupert Madden-Abbott
> Priority: Major
>
> Maven central requires that the following items are specified in artifacts
> that are uploaded:
> [https://central.sonatype.org/pages/requirements.html#sufficient-metadata]
> Of these, the following are inherited by child poms:
> * groupId
> * version
> * developers
> * licenses
> * scm
> * url
> There are a variety of poms deployed to central that are intended to be used
> as parent poms e.g. spring-boot-starter-parent.
> Children of these parents are never going to want to inherit these
> attributes. Since the parent is forced to declare these in order to deploy to
> Maven Central, the child is forced to add boilerplate to override these. It
> is also not trivial to override since all sub-properties must also be
> overridden. This is also brittle to the parent pom declaring more elements in
> the future which it does not wish for the child to inherit.
> Please can we have a mechanism for parent poms to declare that attributes
> should not be inherited. Please can this work for at least those attributes
> required by Maven central.
