The "effective pom" is your pom plus all the stuff it inherits from parent poms 
it declares, and from the Maven "super pom".  The super pom is the built in pom 
that defines all of the default values, such as maven central as a remote 
repository.  

The maven help plugin has a goal you can execute to get the effective pom for a 
given pom.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/

Go to the directory where your pom is, and execute:

mvn help:effective-pom

All IDE maven plugins will show you this as well. 

BTW, if you are a maven newbie, here's some advice on how not to get in trouble.
