"Check out the EAR in isolation"? What do you mean? Check out from SCM? If
so, I don't see troubles with this case... Well, I guess you have a broader
view of those issues :o)
As for me (and as for now), I experience that the <extend> of M1 pom was
really handy, and I can't do that with M2. Hope I'm just missing some
details.

Actually, specifying only groupId and artifactId would be fine, for they
never change during the development lifecycle. But version changes often,
and version is mandatory in children as well, isn't it? ("Missing version
element from parent element") And this is my concern: I don't wanna change
the version in every pom but only in one place, like it used to be in M1.

And if you check out the EAR in isolation, how should it behave? Break?

It's an option, but one that has burned many a Maven 1 user. is there
a reason you can't enter the groupId/artifactId as well/instead?
