I don't know about defining them, but you can use variables in
project.xml. For instance, I have this in mine:
<developerConnection>
scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvs:myproj
</developerConnection>

You don't need the <jar> element. If you do a multiproject:install,
your artifacts will get installed in your local repo. Your
<dependency> (without the <jar>) then tells Maven to find that jar in
your local repo, so you don't need to give an exact path.

If you just want to bundle all your jars for distribution (say into a
zip), you can create another subproject that references the other
artifacts in its dependency list. Then you can copy them from your
local repo to a temp location before zipping. For an idea of how to do
this, check out the war plugin and search for 'war.bundle'.
