No. If you use the maven-dist-plugin to deploy a distribution, the plugin will also distribute the POM. But IMHO it is for a subproject always useless, since you reference with the extend tag also "external" resources as you would do with entities. > As for external source do you also mean internal project > built by another group of developers?

It depends on your setup, if entities are multiproject local or enterprise wirde.
