title: Is it usual to create a parent POM for different projects?
body: <p>I have three different multimodule projects. I have also created one POM in the top level folder of these three different projects where I have added some configuration such as <code>dependencyManagement</code> element. So the different projects have their parent element set to this POM. </p>
  
  <p>I wonder if such usage is a little strange or bad? Should I delete this POM and instead configure each top level POM of each multimodule project?</p>
