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.

     * is pointing to. If the input source is a file or a byte stream then
     * this is the byte offset into that stream, but if the input source is
     * a character media then the offset is the character offset.
     * Returns -1 if there is no offset available.
     * @return the current offset
