Hi Eric, I was wondering why your project POM's packaging type is "POM". If I understand correctly, with "POM" packaging type you'd only get 3 default goals bound to their phases (I read it here: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Built-in_Lifecycle_Bindings).

This may not be the best example, as I am still in the process of building the infrastructure, but 1. I put the Parent POM in its own place in source control and I manually deploy it with Maven when I make changes. 2. You need to do this before creating any Project POMs that reference it because they should reference it via Maven and not the file system - if you work in a large company you will soon discover why. 3. There is of course a bootstrapping issue because now the project POMs need to know how to find your Repository Manager, which is why I include that information in the top level (Corporate) POM so people can use it as a reference. 4. As you may gather I am using Sonatype's Nexus as a Repository Manager. 5. We are still developing our corporate repository infrastructure so the content of the Corporate POM will evolve over time as our corporate governance and policies are better codified. Does that help? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> <!-- Copyright (c) My Company 2012 Proprietary & Confidential This is the top level POM for My Company Maven projects.
