title: Maven Parent POM
body: <p>I am new to Maven and have recently installed nexus. Now I want to create a parent POM so that all my projects within my company can use this. This is my parent POM. </p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;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"&gt;
      &lt;modelVersion&gt;1.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;com.mycomp&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;parent-pom-android&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;1.0.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;packaging&gt;apk&lt;/packaging&gt;
      &lt;name&gt;Android Parent POM&lt;/name&gt;
  
      &lt;repositories&gt;
          &lt;repository&gt;
              &lt;id&gt;nexus-repo&lt;/id&gt;
              &lt;url&gt;http://10.10.10.230:8081/nexus/content/groups/public&lt;/url&gt;
              &lt;releases&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
              &lt;/releases&gt;
              &lt;snapshots&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
                  &lt;updatePolicy&gt;always&lt;/updatePolicy&gt;
              &lt;/snapshots&gt;
          &lt;/repository&gt;
      &lt;/repositories&gt;
      &lt;pluginRepositories&gt;
          &lt;pluginRepository&gt;
              &lt;id&gt;nexus-repo&lt;/id&gt;
              &lt;name&gt;confiz-repo&lt;/name&gt;
              &lt;url&gt;http://10.10.10.230:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/&lt;/url&gt;
              &lt;releases&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
              &lt;/releases&gt;
              &lt;snapshots&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
              &lt;/snapshots&gt;
          &lt;/pluginRepository&gt;
      &lt;/pluginRepositories&gt;
   &lt;/project&gt;

  <p>Now where do I place this POM file so that my other POM files can inherit from it ?</p>
