title: What apps have nifty maven poms and are good as examples of maven capabilites
body: <p>I'm looking for applications that have "rich" maven pom(s) and can show lot of maven capabilities(plugins). These applications are needed as showcase examples - how fast and how many this can be done with maven and appropriate set of plugins.</p>
  
  <p>There are no constraint to technology or application type - it must be opensorce and easy to build. I'm not looking for best one but thouse which are worth to look and build. In yours examples please add comments, what cool features that projects's maven build offer.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously, these poms will be also inspiration to improve my own/others projects poms.</p>
  
  <p>I personally found that <a href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/richfaces/branches/community/3.3.X/examples/photoalbum" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Richfaces Photo Album Example</a> was worth to look. In this project (Java EE webapp) there are functional test with cargo and selenium, use of scm plugin (export form svn), generation and deployment of ear to jboss server.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Why not examples from maven books? The should be real projects to convince to maven boss/stakeholders/workmates.</p>
  
  <p>Why I can't get first one project build by maven? Because usually projects (not all) are only built by maven, and contain no additional reports or plugins.  </p>
