Yes, but additionally some XML elements as well.
I'd like to enforce that:
1. Some properties that are defined as empty in the root POM are
non-empty in all descendants.
2. Some XML elements that are defined in the root POM (such as
issueManagement) are overridden _at least once_ between the root
and any leaf project.
The requireProperty rule you provided does seem to properly handle point
1, but I think that the options we've discussed are too heavy-handed
for point 2. Unless I've missed something obvious, it seems that I can
only require that the XML elements be overridden in *all* descendant
POMs, and this introduces too much redundancy.
