Mosabuam: Company Super POM – A Maven Practice
"Soon after the initial install of Maven you will hopefully like it and use it on a bunch of projects. You will notice that there are a bunch of things in the POM that are the same from project to project. Normally that is where the concept of a company or organisation POM appears. On the other hand internally Maven always uses the Super POM as well. Once multiple projects are involved things quickly get confusing, so lets look at this a bit closer and then get to my hybrid approach of a Company Super POM."

The POM file provides information on the basic structure of the project, and enables Maven to manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation. It's all about automating tasks that once required a lot of repetitious keystrokes by developers, QA teams, and others."

"I'm going to walk through the steps I took to get JRebel working with maven and Intellij 8 since I ran into a few snags along the way. But first, I should explain why bother install it all. JRebel is a great tool that promises to increase your productivity in Java by enabling all sorts of HotSwaps not normally allowed by the JVM."
