I know I can create a maven project with mvn archetype:generate
which will generate a pom.xml file for me.
How do I create a maven project that is going to be a child project? I want the child pom.xml that is created to have the necessary elements that will link it the parent project.
I could of course manually enter in the necessary elements into the child pom.xml, but I was wondering if there is a way to do it with Maven.

If you do it with eclipse: Simply create a mavenmodule (your child project) and name the parentproject in the Parent Project
section.
Note: your parent project should be in the eclipseworkspace too.
