            <id>eg-public</id>
            <repositories>
                <repository>
                    <id>eg-public</id>
                    <name>EG's public repo</name>
                    <url>https://sonatype.egone.dk/repository/maven-public/</url>
                </repository>
            </repositories>
        </profile>
   
    </profiles>
 
    <activeProfiles>
        <activeProfile>eg-public</activeProfile>
    </activeProfiles>  

The add the parent configuration to your pom.

    <parent>
      <groupId>dk.eg</groupId>
      <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
      <version>1.3.6</version>
    </parent>

The pom includes properties which allow various build configuration to be customized. For example, to override the default version of the maven-compiler-plugin, just set a property.

For the full list of properties, refer to the POM itself.
