3) Inheritance: the strange self-referencing issue that the parent POM is,
aside from being a POM to inherit from, also the POM of the pom-project, is
wildly confusing. A pom-project should have a POM with meta-information, and
a different POM to inherit from in src/main/pom or something. The latter is
the project content, and not the meta-information.
This might be total off the mark (being a maven newbie) but we used xml
"inheritance" in a previous project I worked on and we were very careful to
differentiate containment (<parent> tag) from inheritance (<super> tag). It
seems like the top-level pom is a container rather than an ancestor, so I
was surprised to read somewhere that the <parent> tag is actually supposed
to represent inheritance.
