Also, as an aside (sorry, I'm a stickler for correct terms!), there is a difference between a super POM and a parent POM. The SuperPOM is the global default for the whole Maven POM structure, and conceptually, the POM from which all POMs inherit. A parent is just any POM that is interited from.

Also you could have a project that has modules. like the following dir structure myproject myproject/pom.xml myproject/module1/pom.xml myproject/module2/pom.xml the top level pom would contain your global settings and the modules element <modules> <module>module1</module> <module>module2</module> </modules> Im still new to maven 2 also but i hope this gives you some ideas.
