Just for completeness, I should mention that it *is* possible to write a plugin which is *not* inherited by default. When this is the case, the user can still override this by specifying: <inherited>true</inherited> inside the plugin definition (within the parent POM). - -john Chris Berry wrote: | I can now answer this myself. | It appears that m2 does "the right thing" -- i.e. what you'd expect | All plugins are inherited from the Parent.
