You don't need anything in your maven.xml to use multiproject. maven.xml is 
for cases where you want to write your own goals or pre/post goals. I have an 
app that uses multiproject available at www.ajsoft.net/Products/WebShop so 
you can download the source and look at it if you want a reference point.

A plugin performs a particular task ... whether it is a "core" plugin, or a 
plugin for an extension task is not important. "multiproject" is a core 
plugin. Maven provides its capability via plugins, rather than lumping 
everything in a big binary, so you can use what bits you want ... its called 
architecture.
