So you're saying that I can use <pluginManagement> to declare a plugin and all its parameters in the parent but really "instantiate" it in child POMs? Can you provide an example? My concern is that I don't want to redefine the plugin and all its settings (parameters) in child POMs. Thanks.
Here is a relevant section from the top-level POM: <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>group ID</groupId> <artifactId>artifact ID</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>deploy</id> <phase>deploy</phase> <goals> <goal>record-build</goal> </goals> <configuration> <dbURL>url</dbURL> <dbUser>user</dbUser> <dbPassword>pass</dbPassword> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Chicken-and-egg-problem-%28disabling-inheritance%29-tf1932757.html#a5307643 Sent from the Maven - Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
