Hi Barrett, I'd like to clarify if you're referring to 20-30 submodules or 20-30 projects that each has a parent POM? For the former, just specify <inherited>false</inherited> to the parent POM. But if you have 20-30 different projects, I suggest that you create another project and include all these as subprojects. Afterwards, do the same thing, specify <inherited>false</inherited> to the parent POM.
Hope this helps. Dawn Barrett.Nuzum wrote: > > Hi Maven mavens. > > OK -- my turn for a query. > I've written a plugin.
