Best way to share portions of a Maven pom.xml across unrelated projects?

The only maven solution is a common parent. Perhaps if you used a 'released' parent you could do it?

You may build maven project archetype with settings that fulfill your company's best practices. It is rather 'provide' than 'enforce' solution and possibly may be not enough (depending on what those best practices really are). maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creat....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
