pom
With multi-module Maven projects, is it possible to make my root (pom-packaged) project available in Eclipse?
We have a fairly large group of Maven2 projects, with a root POM file listing 10+ modules and a lot of properties used by the modules (dependency version numbers, plugin configuration, common dependencies, etc). Some of the modules are, like the root project, parents to other sets of modules. To clarify, the root project and said paren...

Collapsing parent POM into the child
Given a maven project with a parent POM - including mostly plugin and dependency versions - how can I generate a POM which takes the information from the parent, places it into the child and removes the reference to the parent? Ideally this would be done with the maven-assembly-plugin. Update: I need this done automatically, since ma...

I'm new to Maven and working on creating a build for my company. We don't want to connect out to the Maven Central Repository, and we have a different directory structure for src and test code than specified in the super pom.

Maven: Including jar not found in public repository
If I was to use a 3rd party library that was not in the maven public repository, what is the best way to include it as dependency for my project so that when someone else checks out my code it will still be able to build? i.e. My Application "A" depends on jar "B" which does not exist in the public repository.

Maven - Include Different Files at Build Time
I have ten WAR files, all of which have nearly identical code and markup. The only differences lie in the images, CSS and Messages.

What is the significance of the POM file that Maven places in a JAR file, is it used by anything?
When Maven builds a JAR file, it places the module's POM file inside (seemingly in the directory <groupid>/<artifactid>). When I build a JAR file from Ant to be deployed via the Maven Ant tasks, is the presence of this POM file (the one inside the JAR) important? It doesn't seem to be, but I just wanted to be sure that it is not being ...

In Maven2, what's the simplest way to build a WAR and the EAR to contain that WAR in a single POM?
Situation is pretty straightforward. I have a Java webapp that I'm converting to be built with Maven.
