Can maven projects have multiple parents?

Question

We have Java and Flex projects. We currently have 1 base pom that contains the configurations we want to use for both projects. Problem with this is: Flex projects inherit c

Answer 1

The only way is to have base-pom as parent of java-base-pom and flex-base-pom.

I have similar structure for my spring projects:

base-pom (basic configuration - eclipse, reports, repositories, etc)
|
+ spring-base-pom (spring definitions)
  |
  + spring-jar-base-pom (jar specific definitions)
  |
  + spring-war-base-pom (spring web and servlet dependencies)
    |
    + spring-webapp-base_pom (spring web mvc dependencies)
