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

public class DefaultProjectDependencyGraph implements ProjectDependencyGraph {

    private final ProjectSorter sorter;

    private final List<MavenProject> allProjects;

    private final Map<MavenProject, Integer> order;

    private final Map<String, MavenProject> projects;

    /**
     * Creates a new project dependency graph based on the specified projects.
     *

  /** Ciphers in order we observed directly on the socket. */
  private lateinit var handshakeEnabledCipherSuites: List<String>

  /** Ciphers in order we observed on sslSocketFactory defaults. */
  private lateinit var defaultEnabledCipherSuites: List<String>

  /** Ciphers in order we observed on sslSocketFactory supported. */

	}

	// Tests hashing order to be consistent.
	for i, testCase := range testCases {
		hashedOrder := hashOrder(testCase.objectName, 16)
		if !reflect.DeepEqual(testCase.hashedOrder, hashedOrder) {
			t.Errorf("Test case %d: Expected \"%v\" but failed \"%v\"", i+1, testCase.hashedOrder, hashedOrder)
		}
	}

	// Tests hashing order to fail for when order is '-1'.

            0, 0, null, null, false, null, null, null, null, null, false);
    protected final ColumnInfo _columnOrder = cci("order", "order", null, null, Integer.class, "order", null, false, false, false,
            "Integer", 0, 0, null, null, false, null, null, null, null, null, false);

  /*
   * While the current implementation returns `this`, that's not something we mean to guarantee.
   * Callers of TestContainerGenerator.order need to be prepared for implementations to return a new
   * collection.
   */
  @SuppressWarnings("CanIgnoreReturnValueSuggester")
  @Override
  public List<Integer> order(List<Integer> insertionOrder) {
    sort(insertionOrder);
    return insertionOrder;
  }

     * This is required for tracking and analytics purposes.
     */
    @Required
    public String queryId;

    /**
     * Order or ranking position of the document in search results.
     * This optional field helps track which result position was clicked.
     */
    public Integer order;

    // for error page

    /**
     * Query string parameter for error page fallback.

    }

    @Override
    public Entry<K, V>[] createArray(int length) {
      return generator.createArray(length);
    }

    @Override
    public Iterable<Entry<K, V>> order(List<Entry<K, V>> insertionOrder) {
      return generator.order(insertionOrder);
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Override
    public K[] createKeyArray(int length) {
      return (K[]) new Object[length];
    }

Now, if you check the docs, they will show all the additional metadata:

### Order of tags { #order-of-tags }

The order of each tag metadata dictionary also defines the order shown in the docs UI.

For example, even though `users` would go after `items` in alphabetical order, it is shown before them, because we added their metadata as the first dictionary in the list.

## OpenAPI URL { #openapi-url }

 * <li>Version components in the text can be digits or strings,</li>
 * <li>Strings are checked for well-known qualifiers, and the qualifier ordering is used for version ordering.
 *     Well-known qualifiers (case-insensitive) are, in order from least to greatest:<ol>
 *     <li><code>alpha</code> or <code>a</code></li>
 *     <li><code>beta</code> or <code>b</code></li>
 *     <li><code>milestone</code> or <code>m</code></li>
