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.

 The super model is where we place all the values which we believe to be standard, values that can be shared and
 utilized across all your Maven projects.

 m0 <- m1 <- m2

 which is transformed into

  They are replaced in Maven 4 with Maven 4 API Core's {{{../api/maven-api-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/api/Type.html}Dependency Types}},
  with default values defined in {{{../maven-resolver-provider/apidocs/org/apache/maven/repository/internal/type/DefaultTypeProvider.html}DefaultTypeProvider}}.

  For compatibility, legacy Maven 3 artifact handlers are still provided:

* ExpressionEvaluator

  Currently, the expression evaluator used to resolve configuration values
  is the DefaultExpressionEvaluator, which is a local variable within the
  implementation of the BasicComponentConfigurator. This ExpressionEvaluator
  simply returns the expression itself as the resolved value, which adds
  very little value to the container. Things like ${project.build.resources}

 themselves:

<plugins>
  <plugin>
   <id>xdoc</id>
   <version>1.0</version>
   <parameters>
     <parameter>
       <name>theme</name>
       <value>classic</value>
     </parameter>

Unified source directory

 Unified source directory structure that is analogous to the repository

        <includeScope implementation="java.lang.String" default-value="runtime">${includeScope}</includeScope>
