Description:
In the documentation for the POM, the example includes:

<extends>${basedir}/../project.xml</extends>

which will wreak havoc on any attempts to use the pom without having the parent project's files on hand. This means that this pom is next to useless, unless we can first checkout the parent project from scm or somesuch. The scm info is in the POM, so you see a circle beginning to emerge...

We should change this example to be:

<extends>${maven.repo.local}/${pom.groupId}/poms/${pom.id}-${pom.currentVersion}.pom</extends>

where all pom.* values are filled in manually with the actual values.
