Module dependency profiles/templates/inheritance for pom projects
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-4395
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4395
             Project: Maven 2
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 2.2.1
            Reporter: Kristoffer Sjogren


In our organization we have general definition of what a component means for us.

For example, a general dependency definition of a component goes like this:
- EAR (depends on all other projects within this component)
- IF (no dependencies)
- EJB (depends on interface project)
- WAR (depends on interface AND ejb project)
- RAR (depends on the interface project)

There is also some other type of projects that are part of this definition but i have left them out here for brevity. This make our pom file very verbose.

Since we have many components in our system and so we repeat ourselves alot and it's hard to maintain consistency through the system. 

It would be nice to be able to define some kind of template or profile centrally and inherit that for each "component".

Cheers,
-Kristoffer
