title: Publish individual project from maven multi-project setup
body: <p>I have a maven multi-project setup, where one of the projects represents the &quot;client API&quot;. Other applications/projects interacting with the service shall include the client API as dependencies.</p>
  <p>The pom.xml of the client API references the parent pom, from where it inherits some dependencies. As a result, consumers of this client API currently also require access to this parent pom (which therefore also needs to be published).</p>
  <p>Is this normal (&quot;the way it should be&quot;)? Or is this avoidable? Is it possible to publish the client API as an independent package?</p>
