The documentation on POM inheritance
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html#Project_Inheritance
says the things that are inherited are:
* dependencies
* developers and contributors
* plugin lists (including reports)
* plugin executions with matching ids
* plugin configuration
* resources
This list seems incomplete to me. For instance, I see in many poms,
people leave out even basic things like <groupId>, expecting it to be
inherited from the parent.
I've also tried leaving out of POMs things like <license>, or <scm>, and
then doing a mvn help:effective-pom and I see in that pom these elements
appear to be "inherited" from the parent.
Is the documentation incorrect - in that there are many more things than
listed that are inherited?
