In a multi module maven project, does a child pom inherits plugins defined in parent pom?
Maven documentation around the plugin inheritance is a bit confusing to me. According to the documentation
If your POM declares a parent, it inherits plugin configuration from either the build/plugins or pluginManagement sections of the parent.
So I'm assuming only the configuration will be inherited in case if the child has the same plugin defined under <build><plugins> section. If child does not have the plugin then it's not inherited from the parent.
Can someone please confirm if this is the correct understanding, or I'm missing anything here.
