So you're saying that I can use pluginManagement to declare a plugin and all its parameters in the parent but really instantiate it in child POMs? Can you provide an example? My concern is that I don't want to redefine the plugin and all its settings (parameters) in child POMs. Thanks. Here is a

I doesn't work for me either (Maven 2.0.4). Moreover, the site directories are structured based on the POM iheritance, which is probably not intended. I have the following hierarchy of parent POMS: top-level-pom parent-ear-pom parent-web-pom My multi-module project is structured this
