Pom.XML - POM stands for "Project Object Model". It is an XML representation of a Maven project held in a file named pom.xml. The following is the project descriptor used to describe the Maven project:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

  <pomVersion>3</pomVersion>
  <name>jakarta-turbine-maven</name>
  <id>maven</id>

  <description>
    Maven is a project management and project comprehension
    tool. Maven is based on the concept of a project object
    model: builds, documentation creation, site publication,
    and distribution publication are all controlled from the
    project object model. Maven also provides tools to
    create source metrics, change logs based directly on
    source repository, and source cross-references.
