I am guessing that you need to specify the groupId and artifactId of the RPM plugin in any project that uses it. I think you can only inherit the version with the pluginManagement in the parent POM.
Of course, in the case of the RPM plugin, the configuration is likely to be different for each project, so I would assume you still have the RPM plugin configuration in each project. -----Original Message----- From: Xavier Toth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 9:34 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: [m2] multiproject using plugin I have a project that builds an rpm with the rpm plugin which works fine. Now I want to build several rpms so I've made several projects and a parent project to run them all. However when I run the parent (mvn -o clean rpm:rpm) I get the following output: NOTE: Maven is executing in offline mode. Any artifacts not already in your local repository will be inaccessible. [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] Reactor build order: [INFO] micro_proxy [INFO] sockd [INFO] JWSS [INFO] rpm [INFO] Searching repository for plugin with prefix: 'rpm'.

I can run this command successfully in the suprojects why doesn't it work from the parent? Is there a way in the parent to specify the goals for the children?
