Maven include another pom for plugin configuration

Question

is there a way to include another pom or information in a maven pom ?

I have several poms which are basically not related or have different parent poms. Nevertheless

Answer 1

The only correct answer is to use inheritance. Have an inherited ancestor with this configuration in it. Since you have existing parent POMs, these must inherit from this new parent. If this isn't possible then rethink the hierarchy of your Maven projects, or else you'll have to copy and paste the same configuration into each file and add a comment indicating the section must not be modified / must be maintained consistently with [insert list of projects here].

TLDR; Inheritance is designed specifically to resolve situations such as yours. If you can't use it then don't try to hack around it - either restructure your POMs or copy and paste!
