Here is my parent POM:

.....
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>group1</groupId>
<artifactId>group1-artifact</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>

<modules>
     <module>child1</module>
</modules>
.......

Here is my child POM:

.....
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
    <groupId>group1</groupId>
    <artifactId>group1-artifact</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1</version>
    <relativePath>(full url.....)/jenkins-parent-pom//pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
<groupId>group1</groupId>
<artifactId>child1</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
<packaging>war</packaging>
......

Here is how I tried to inherit dependency in child POM from parent POM:

<dependencyManagement>  
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>group1</groupId>
      <artifactId>group1-artifact</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.1</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

If I put those same dependencies in the child POM, it works perfectly. I do clean install for installing and deploy for deploying in nexus by using jenkins. I am using maven-3.3.9. In jenkins, I have read the parent and child poms in two different maven projects from git. I want to inherit all the dependencies and plugins from parent POM. Is it possible?

Solution

You should declare dependencies you want to inherit under a <dependencies> section to achieve this. <dependencyManagement> is used for definitions that must be referenced later, whenever needed, within the <dependencies> of a particular child to become effective.

UPDATE: Be careful when declaring dependencies that every child pom will inherit. Very quickly you can end up having dependencies you don't really need just because they are declared in the parent. As mentioned by other commenters, <dependencyManagement> may be a better choice, although it isn't what you wanted originally.
