Maven multi-module projects provide support for project aggregation, 
letting you define parent-child relationships among a group of projects to 
achieve interdependence-based build ordering, limited project inheritance, 
and centralized dependency management.

Maven's pom.xml files are verbose, error-prone, and just generally gross, 
especially for multi-module projects, so I wanted to see if I could provide 
the above features using Leiningen. The fruit of my labor thus far is this 
plugin:

   https://github.com/jcrossley3/lein-modules

Project inheritance is achieved using Leiningen profiles. This is more 
flexible than Maven, where the values subject to inheritance are 
hard-coded. And profiles defined in your project's ancestors are activated 
appropriately for each task, as you would expect.

Dependency management is a lot simpler, too: it's just a map of dependency 
symbols to version strings, from which your dependency specs are populated 
by Leiningen middleware.

See the README for more details and an example.

Love,
Jim
