Collapsing parent POM into the child
- by Robert Munteanu
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 manually it's boring and tedious.
Update 2: I'm preparing the source code for an external and want to deliver only one project, not the whole family.
