title: Maven inherit from remote parent
body: <p>My problem is that I have several <code>git</code> repos each consisting of several <code>Maven</code> projects, and these all need to inherit from a common <code>pom.xml</code>.  In other words, they aren't related by file system.  The most obvious solution to me is for the parent to live in a common `Maven repository, however I haven't found any reference on whether this is possible.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a solution not involving <code>git submodule</code>.</p>
