I like adding a pom to my Maven installation directory, share it in SCM and
then all projects can extend from the pom added to Maven by referering to it
as
<extend>${maven.home}/project.xml</extend>
I like to refer to this pom added to Maven as the program-level pom. Each
project extends the program-level pom with an application-level pom. The
application-level pom is then extended by module poms.
Rgds,
