Generate .pom file all artifacts in Maven

I've a multi-module maven project. It has two multi-modules

  • Parent POM.xml (packaging type: pom)
  • Module1 POM.xml (packaging type: jar)
  • Module2 POM.xml (packaging type: jar)

When I build the pom.xml using mvn build option, I am able to get all artifacts (parent pom, child jars).

But I want .pom file (not pom.xml) for child jars as well. Can anyone please suggest me what to do?

I tried by adding dependencies like maven release plugin in pom.xml but it didn't work.

The pom.xml is renamed to module1.pom when installed (copied to the local repository) or deployed (copied to the repository). The pom.xml is not copied to target.
