To Inherit Parent’s Plugin

To inherit the MUnit plugin in your child POM files, you need to reference it in a <plugin> section of each child POM file individually:

POM child file sample

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<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/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.pirate</groupId>
        <artifactId>pirate-pom</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </parent>

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
    <artifactId>ninja</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>mule</packaging>
    <name>Mule ninja Application</name>

    <properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <app.runtime>4.0.0</app.runtime>
        <munit.version>2.0.0</munit.version>
    </properties>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.mulesoft.munit.tools</groupId>
                <artifactId>munit-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

This quick sample references pirate-pom file as its parent and then declares the MUnit plugin in a <plugin> section without specifying its <version> because MUnit plugin configuration is being inherited from the <pluginManagement> section in the parent.
