Maven super model

 Inheritance is recursive in Maven but there is a special model which is the implicit super parent in the lineage
 of models you may specify:

 all of the models that you specify are collected to produce a lineage and then the super model is place at
 the top of that lineage to provide default values.

    public Set<Plugin> getPluginsBoundByDefaultToAllLifecycles(String packaging) {
        Set<Plugin> plugins;

        if ("JAR".equals(packaging)) {
            plugins = new LinkedHashSet<>();

            plugins.add(newPlugin("maven-compiler-plugin", "compile", "testCompile"));
