Description

Currently, whenever a child pom inherits from a parent (and doesn't override the relevant settings), both project.url and project.distributionManagement.site.url have the name of the child artifact appended.

It would be nice to be able to have something like

<url>scpexe://host/blah/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}</url>

and have this inherited to all child poms in the obvious way.

My usecase for this is that we have a single parent pom for all our projects, with useful settings such as distributionManagement, and I'd like to be able to deploy their sites to a single directory and have Apache generate me a directory listing for all the child projects. However, I curently have no way of releasing the parent project without obliterating the list of child projects.
