Hi Barrett, Yes, that is correct. You should edit the parent POM. I can see that you've specified the <inherited>false</inherited> in <build><pluginManagement/></build>. Try adding this in the <build><plugins/><build> instead.
The inherited tags are used to merge the parent pom and the child pom (though no actual pom file is created, the pom object is created). The resulting pom is the one that gets executed. So, if you don't inherit the pluginManagement but inherit the plugin, it will still get executed. But if you don't inherit the plugin, even if you inherit the pluginManagement, it will not get executed. Hope this makes more sense this time.
