In order the understand how inheritance works in Maven there are a few notions that you must be familiar with:

 * The maven super model

 * how parent poms are processed

 * the order in which elements in the POM are overridden

 * minimum element-set for a valid project pom


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:

  <artifactId>test3</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <name>Maven Integration Test :: MNG-4053</name>
  <description>
    Verify that attributes in plugin configuration elements are not erroneously duplicated to other elements when
    plugin management and a profile are used.
  </description>

  <build>
    <!-- NOTE: This test used plugin management for the IT plugin -->
    <pluginManagement>
      <plugins>

import org.apache.maven.project.ExtensionDescriptorBuilder;
import org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm;

/**
 * Provides information about artifacts (identified by groupId:artifactId string key) and classpath elements exported by
 * Maven core itself or a Maven core extension.

 * @since 3.3.0

public class CoreExtensionEntry {
    private final ClassRealm realm;

    private final Set<String> artifacts;
