I have not found a way to do this, but it seems like a feature that should exist. Is it possible to invoke a maven-2 plugin by inherited reference? For example I would like to be able to do something like the following (yes I know you can't do this):
<pluginManagment>
<plugin id="exec-inno-setup">
<artifactId>maven-exec-plugin...
<executions>...
<configuration>...</configuration
<executions>
</plugin>
And somewhere in my child POM, I want to do something like:
<pluginRef id="exec-inno-setup">
<configuration>
<script>someFile.iss</script>
</configuration>
</pluginRef>
The question is: is there some way to do this, (or come close).
