I apologize if this topic has already been discussed. I searched all over the web and the archives and didn't find anything, but I can't believe that I'm the only person with this request.
I'm running the CI/CD pipeline for several java projects. We're using Git, Maven, Jenkins, Sonar, and Nexus. I would like to to have the developers create and own their own POM.XML that will be used for Snapshots and Release Candidates. I want to add my build specific POM elements to the effective POM for the CI process but I don't want their POM to have to include all the extra elements for Jacoco and Sonar (and whatever else we add in the future). I can do this with profiles but then their POM will have everything in it. I can do this with a parent POM but they already have a parent POM (springboot) so that they can run locally. I would have to insert my parent pom in between and that seems fragile since mine is only for CI builds. I can't do this with the settings.xml, on the build server, because it doesn't have all the required elements. I hope that there is something obvious that I've missed (like a Jenkins plugin) but I'm about to give up and just require the developers to live with an excessively complicated POM file. Thanks. -- George Kopf
