Creating a company-wide POM
---------------------------
Key: MNG-4743
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4743
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation: General
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Larry Singer
Priority: Minor
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-maven.html refers to "a
company-wide parent pom.xml" but gives no guidance on creating one. There
should at least be some documentation or example of this. The documentation
needs to be linked from to the above URL.
One of the big issues with a company wide POM is that it needs to contain a
reference to a company-wide repository, but it needs to be in that repository.
Therefore it is not possible to retrieve it until it is retrieved. A solution
to this can be found at

An alternate solution would be a setting for a company repository in
settings.xml.
