Maven: adding a reference to a parent pom project

Question

I\'m not sure if I\'m understanding how to use a parent pom project correctly. I have the following parent pom defined:

4.0.0         


        

Answer 1

As @khmarbaise pointed out, the parent of a multi-module build is not usually used as a dependency elsewhere.

You should be able to add each of your child modules as dependencies and achieve what you wanted to do by adding the parent pom.
