I understand. It seems that with Maven the user customizes what Maven gives.
In Centipede the user composes Centipede parts.
It seems the opposite to me.

Composition means that you take things and put them together.
Inheritance means that you extend available stuff.
Maven plugins are customization, that is extensions of the common Mavan
build, that is basically inheritance.
In Java, super() is basically a pre-callback...
Is this correct?
What is the real value of callbacks?
