Group inherentance from parent IDE checks

[gunslingor]

I have the group tag defined in my parent pom, but intelliJ IDEA tells me it is still required in the child pom so I have to add it as follows, while the optional ones like defaultUserName don't suffer from this... is there a way to overcome this, so this blank tag isn't required?

        <plugins>

                    <group/>
                    <mappings combine.children="append">
                        <mapping>

                                </source>
                            </sources>

                    </mappings>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
