I fear there is no feature for that this is an opportunity to explain the code: 1. everything is in maven-model-builder [1] 2. the step of interest here is inheritance assembly [2] 3. and if you look at source code [3], there is code to avoid emptying data during inheritance, but no merge facilities and even less merge with cleanup (= what you're looking for)
If you can imagine a clean way of configuring inheritance with merge and cleanup at pom XML level, the impementation of the merge feature will be coded at this place Don't hesitate to discuss the feature both from a user point of view first and trying to code it: we're looking for contribution. This one should not be that hard to code, IMHO, but the important step is to ind a way to make is usable in pom.xml.
