Parents, if edited, should be installed into your local repo - otherwise, the changes may not be picked up. Currently, it appears maven picks up the changes only for the immediate parent, not for grandparents (unless the grandparent is installed).

We do not use (at the moment) the Apache Super Pom (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache/6/apache-6.pom^{Image Added}. One reason is that it includes the standard license and notice in the jars; we include custom license and notice files depending on the subproject, along with a Disclaimer file (while we're in incubation).

The mvn command

The mvn command documention appears when you type mvn -help. Besides the options, it takes 0 or more goals to run, and/or 0 or more life-cycle phases to run. If given a life cycle phase, such as "install", it runs all the previous phases in the life cycle, up to that point. If given a goal, such as "eclipse:eclipse", it may run life-cycle phases up to a specified point, depending on the goal implementation. For eclipse:eclipse, the documentation says it runs the phase "generate-resources" - meaning it runs all the life cycle phases up to that point.
