FAQ: How To Handle Parent POM Files
You can declare the MUnit plugin in a parent POM file and every child project under this file can choose to reference this definition.
In order to make a proper use of the MUnit plugin in a parent-child POM relationship, you need to include the MUnit plugin declaration in the <pluginManagement> section of your parent pom.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
