Maven 4 API - Immutable Maven Model

 This is strictly the immutable model for Maven POM (Project Object Model), so really just plain objects in <<<org.apache.maven.api.model>>> package.

 The following are generated from this model:

   * {{{./apidocs/index.html}Java sources}} with <<<Builder>>> inner classes for immutable instances creation.

     2. append happens at plugin level first, then goal level, independently from phases.
        This means for example that adding pluginA:goal2 to pre-existing (pluginA:goal1, pluginB:goal) will lead to (pluginA:goal1, pluginA:goal2, pluginB:goal)

   * see effective POM as shown by {{{/plugins/maven-help-plugin/effective-pom-mojo.html}<<<help:effective-pom>>>}} to see the effective plugins then goals order.
