+
+   #+BEGIN_SRC xml
+     <parent>
+       <groupId>net.kemitix</groupId>

+
+** Contents
+
+   The POM defines the following items:
+
+-  =issueManagement=
+-  =scm=
+-  =url=
+-  =inceptionYear=
+-  =licenses=
+-  =developers=
+
+  In your child pom you should override, at least, the =issueManagement=, =scm=,
+  =url= and =inceptionYear= sections.
+
+** Properties
+
+   The POM sets the following properties:
+
+-  =project.reporting.outputEncoding= as =UTF-8=
+-  =java.version= as =1.8=
+
+** Profile =release=
+
+   The =release= profile is for use when deploying your project.
+
+   It configures the following plugins:
+
+**** =maven-javadoc-plugin=
+
+     Executes the =jar= goal during the =package= phase.
+
+**** =maven-source-plugin=
+
+     Executes the =jar-no-fork= goal during the =package= phase.
+
+**** =maven-gpg-plugin=
+
+     Executes the =sign= goal during the =package= phase.
+
+     The default =gpg= key will be used with the password defined in the
+     =gpg.passphrase= property.
+     
+**** =maven-deploy-plugin=
+
+     This plugin is configured to *not* run. Deployment, uploading of artifacts,
+     is handled by the =nexus-staging-maven-plugin=.
+
+**** =nexus-staging-maven-plugin=
+
+     Executes the default goals.
+
+     Uploads artifacts to the Sonatype Nexus server, https://oss.sonatype.org/,
+     leaving the artifacts in the Staging repository. From there they will need
+     to be released manually.
+
+     Authentication details are taken from the =sonatype-nexus= server in your
+     =settings.xml= file.
+
+*** Distribution Management
+
+    The Nexus Sonatype repositories are declared within =distributionManagement=.
