Inheritance in Maven

 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

     * This map is usually either empty if no module was found, or a singleton map.
     * It may however contain more than one entry if module hierarchy was detected,
     * in which case there is one key per sub-directory.
     *
     * <p>This map may contain null values if the constructor was invoked with {@code resolve}
     * parameter set to false. This is more efficient when only the module existence needs to

Making and Submitting Changes
--------------

We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The [developer mailing list][dev-ml-list] is the
main channel of communication for contributors.  
There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:
+ Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (this is usually the master branch).
  Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
+ Make commits of logical units.

                if (retValue.length() >= 2 && (retValue.charAt(1) == '|' || retValue.charAt(1) == ':')) {
                    // special case: if there is a windows drive letter, then keep the original return value
                    retValue = retValue.charAt(0) + ":" + retValue.substring(2);
                } else {
                    // Now we expect the host

Since they define the primary structure of the project/build.

The stubs define three top-level targets that are defined in  LifecycleTaskSegmentCalculatorStub;
clean, aggr and install. "aggr" is an aggregating task while clean and install are lifecyclephases.
There will be three items in the task list for this dataset.

The stubs also exist at different "levels", where one test might wire stubs into a specific live implementation.

/**
 * A test which demonstrates maven's recursive inheritance where
 * a distinct value is taken from each parent contributing to
 * the final model of the project being assembled. There is no
 * overriding going on amongst the models being used in this test:
 * each model in the lineage is providing a value that is not present

/**
 * Transporter provider is a service that provides somewhat trivial transport capabilities backed by Maven internals.
 * This API does not try to cover all the requirements out there, just the basic ones, and is intentionally simple.
 * If plugin or extension needs anything more complex feature wise (i.e. HTTP range support or alike) it should
 * probably roll its own.

Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
contribution quickly and easily:

 - [ ] Make sure there is a [JIRA issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG) filed
       for the change (usually before you start working on it).  Trivial changes like typos do not
       require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this issue, without
       pulling in other changes.
