I just figured that when you declare <parent> node what you refer there is by default something in maven repo. it seems like defining a company-parent pom.xml with packaging: pom would be a solution. As long as this pom is deployed to maven repo other projects should have no trouble resolving it and inheriting from it... Any thoughts, insights appreciated... Regards, -Guillaume

Do you know of any tricks to ensure all projects share the same distributionManagement info? I don't want to use pom hierarchy if possible because that would mean I would need a master top-level pom that sits somewhere in SVN that everyone need to checkout for it to be resolved. Ideally I would like to inherit pom distributionManagement from a dependency that lives in the repo. Is it possible to do this? This way no matter from where you are building a proj you can inherit firmwide pom settings as long as the pom artifact is stored in the company repo.
