     Platform:

     In this tutorial I want to create parent pom project using maven project feature.

File-New-Maven Project

select package type pom

this is how it looks like at the end

Right click on pom.xml.
Run as-Maven clean
Run as-Maven install

This is the contents of  pom.xml which is actually parent-pom file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelversion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupid>com.mytutos.maven</groupId> <artifactid>simple-parent</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <name>simple-parent</name> <description>organization parent pom</description> <!-- common dependencies for projects --> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupid>junit</groupId> <artifactid>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <!-- common plugins for projects --> <build> <plugins> <!-- jetty embedded server --> <plugin> <groupid>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId> <artifactid>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>9.0.6.v20130930</version> </plugin> <!-- tomcat embedded server --> <plugin> <groupid>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactid>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> </plugin> <!-- jdk configuration --> <plugin> <artifactid>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.7</source> <target>1.7</target> </configuration> </plugin> <!-- The WAR Plugin is responsible for collecting all artifact dependencies, classes and resources of the web application and packaging them into a web application archive --> <plugin> <artifactid>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <configuration> <failonmissingwebxml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
