To reuse Mule Maven plugin configuration across multiple individual Mule applications, the developer should use a parent pom.xml file. A parent pom.xml file defines common configurationfor one or more child projects that inherit from it. The developer can specify common properties and dependencies for all child projects in the parent pom.xml file, such as Mule Maven plugin configuration, and then reference them in each child project’s pom.xml file using placeholders.
