But that is not much different from having plugin configuration in the project file. Besides, if I use parent pom file, don't I need to have physically all children projects in subdirectories of the parent project? If that is the case, than this is not going to work for me, because I am trying to establish common environment for a development team that may work on unrelated projects.
As far as I know, it is impossible to configure a plugin in settings.xml. Wouldn't be nice if the plugin were capable to pickup the compiler version based on e.g. JAVA_HOME variable?
