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.

            InputLocation location = plugin.getLocation("");
            if (location != null && location.getSource() != null) {
                trackingData.add(indent + location.getSource().getModelId() + " (implicit)");
                indent += "  ";
            }
        } else if (collectStepTrace != null) {
            if (collectStepTrace.getPath().get(0).getArtifact() == null) {
                return;
            }

    }
