Like Stephen said, profiles are not inherited. That being said, you would
need to replicate the profile activation in all children poms
<profile>
<id>default-code-coverage</id>
<activation>
<file>
<exists>src/main/java</exists>
</file>
</activation>
</profile>
But as you would probably put this profiles only in those children that
actually have "src/main/java", I believe you could take this activation
config out and activate the profile with -Pdefault-code-coverage
