Document POM inheritance
------------------------
Key: MNG-2027
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2027
Project: Maven 2
Type: Task
Components: Documentation: General
Reporter: John Casey
Document in detail how parent POMs are merged with local POM data. In
particular:
* how are lists of things merged
* how do local POMs override parent data
* how can one suppress inheritance of a plugin
* how can one control merge-vs-append in plugin configurations
* how does the <parent><version/> affect the requirement for a locally
specified <version/>
How does managed information differ??
Managed info (dependencyManagement, pluginManagement) sets the standard
configuration, version, etc for that information. This standard can be used in
opt-in fashion by child POMs, BUT WILL ONLY BE APPLIED WHERE IT IS REFERENCED.
Document the way in which managed info is merged, and how it can be referenced
and overridden.
