the useful life of an IDE passes when the webapp is promoted to
production and the op implements the goals in the pom.xml to deploy
to appserver
What you're describing sounds monolithic.
Any great big monolithic application is going to be painful to manage,
and maven won't be able to help you if you try have one pom file to
rule them all.
Break your projects into bits, and then assemble the bits at the end
in a separate project. Then in a separate project again, configure the
magic install behaviour that you want.
When your project is made of many bits, you want to be able to repeat
your build - maven steps in and ensures that everything is pinned to
the correct dependencies correctly. Maven only does this however if
you've asked it to.
