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:

import org.apache.maven.bridge.MavenRepositorySystem;
import org.apache.maven.model.Dependency;
import org.apache.maven.model.Parent;
import org.apache.maven.model.resolution.ModelResolver;
import org.apache.maven.model.resolution.UnresolvableModelException;
import org.eclipse.aether.DefaultRepositorySystemSession;
import org.eclipse.aether.RepositorySystem;
