Using Aggregate and Parent POMs

...

If your parent POM is also the aggregate POM, all projects are released simultaneously.
A parent POM (that is not an aggregate POM) is released in its own cycle and owns an individual version number.
An aggregate POM (that is not a parent POM) is never released and only acts as a build helper.
1. Use profiles to bundle projects
2. Use commandline options to build only part of the projects in the reactor.

title	System or Software Architecture Documention with ConfluenceUser Documentation for Maven Projects?

The PDAC1 for Confluence supports agile team in their task to communicate with stakeholders. For instance developers need to

communicate the architecture of a software system,
provide user documentation for Java libraries or Maven plugins based on information from the POM file
or simply want to keep a journal to track interesting ideas and findings.

For all of that the projectdoc Toolbox provides macros and doctypes (also know as templates or blueprints) to make these tasks much easier.
