       Body:
I definitly agree that POM inheritance should be declarative rather than file-based. This is a feature every organization generating multiple projects will appreciate.

Description:
I propose the following alternative to <extend>project.xml path</extend>

<extendProject>
  <groupId>...</groupId>
  <artifactId>...</artifactId>
  <version>...</version>
</extendProject>

It would look up the pom in the repo (and download it if neccessary).

IMO it's more flexible than relying on filesystem paths.
