annoying indeed but you only have  to set the scm urls once in the each 
artifact and with an archetype well only once.

i think its dumb to have the parent of several modules the same... if you 
think OO then the parent of any artifact should define common behaviour for 
articfacts of that type... so you should have a jar parent, webapp parent etc 
etc... and usually an aggregation of modules crosses concerns e.g. server, 
client, common code, persistence, api

it seems really obvious to me, maybe i'm missing something
