Maven: can one parent pom.xml import <pluginManagement> from another parent pom.xml
<p>I have 2 POMs for 2 separate multi-module parents:</p>

<pre><code>CorePOM/pom.xml

SpectPOM/pom.xml
</code></pre>

<p>The children of SpecPOM use children of CorePOM, but I do not want to make SpecPOM a child of CorePOM.</p>

<p>I am using <code>&lt;dependencyManagement&gt;</code> import thus:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;dependencyManagement&gt;        
    &lt;dependencies&gt;

    &lt;!-- Use import to sync versions with CorePOM --&gt;   
    &lt;dependency&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;com.example.multi&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;CorePOM&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;1.0-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;    
        &lt;type&gt;pom&lt;/type&gt;
        &lt;scope&gt;import&lt;/scope&gt;
    &lt;/dependency&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Q: Is there an equivalent import strategy for <code>&lt;pluginManagement&gt;</code> so I can sync versions of plugins ?</strong></p>

<p>If not, how can I avoid repeating plugin versions in both CorePom and SpecPOM ?</p>
