Thats the standard way. Why is this tricky? Maybe I explained to complicated.
You have a parent pom (where you place it is rather irrelevant): <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>#a groupt for the parent pom</groupId> <artifactId># an artifact id for the parent pom</artifactId> <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <name>Global parent pom</name> ... dependencies build definitions profiles plugins distribution definitions... </project> This is the way how maven works with configuring global configurations. You can create very precise configuration hierarchies for all your projects. Look at the apache and codehaus projects, they show how this can be done very efficently. -- christian domsch [software developer] innoWake gmbh innovative.software.development(); graf-arco-strasse 18 | 89079 ulm-donautal fon: +49 (0)7 31 - 5 50 27 - 0 fax: +49 (0)7 31 - 5 50 27 - 20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.innowake.de innoWake gmbh hrb ulm 4584 geschäftsführer: thorsten bernecker This e-mail may contain confidential information.
