 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.

 The super model is where we place all the values which we believe to be standard, values that can be shared and
 utilized across all your Maven projects.

 The jar file is executable and provides a little tool to display how Maven parses and compares versions:

+----+
$ java -jar maven-artifact-*.jar 3.2.4-alpha-1 3.2.4-SNAPSHOT 3.2.4.0
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:
1. 3.2.4-alpha-1 == 3.2.4.alpha.1
   3.2.4-alpha-1 < 3.2.4-SNAPSHOT

Making Trivial Changes

For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always

    // together and this really shows the problem of constructing a sensible default configuration but
    // it's all encapsulated here so it appears normalized to the POM builder.

    // We are going to take the project packaging and find all plugin in the default lifecycle and create
    // fully populated Plugin objects, including executions with goals and default configuration taken

    Test that POM interpolation fully interpolates all properties in data flow chain, i.e. where property
    A depends on property B, and property B depends on property C and so on.
