Does anyone know why that is? At first glance, that seems rather
unhelpful. You have to repeat the prerequisites in each POM instead of
putting it in the parent once. Why would you ever want to build child
A with different prerequisites than child B? (And if you did come up
with a use case, you could simply override the prerequisites in that
particular child's POM.)

Perhaps there are non-obvious technical difficulties?
