[jira] Commented: (MNG-1364) Introduction to inheritance

["Jason van Zyl (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1364?page=comments#action_49617 ] 

Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-1364:
------------------------------------

 It would be nice to have a guide on pom inheritance :

- what is inheritance and when to use it.
- explains the difference between a pom as dependency and as parent.
- note the pom elements that are inherited from the parent to the child, as not all of them are

Use the InheritanceAssembler as a guide.

> Users need to know how elements of the POM are inherited. We could show this with text but a graphical representation would probably be easier to understand.
