I wrote this email a long, long time ago. ;-)

Since then, I have found out that there certainly is a real "super
pom" which is in one of the Maven jars... forget which one, but you
can find it if you search the Maven jars. But you shouldn't extract
the file, edit, and add it back to the jar; instead just write your
configuration etc in your own local project pom.xml file.

Hi Wayne,
I really don't understand your words.

If Super POM doesn't exist in my machine as a real and independent file,
then it may be built by source codes as a concept.
Does it means that if the concept of Super POM is changed, then the source
of Maven would be changed, too?
I cannot imagine that.

a cup of Java, cheers!
