No, all elements are inherited but only dependencies are merged. For other elements, if they are redefined in child (like build tag), maven doesn't use the parent declaration.
Actually, inherit is not perfect in Maven. We'll fix it for 1.0.

Thanks. Are you saying that dependencies are the *only* thing that is inherited? I was under the impression that other components of the POM were inherited, such as <unitTestSourceDirectory>. Furthermore, I notice that in maven.xml, goals are inherited but not post-goals. Is there a definititive definition of what is inherited?
