POM
nA Maven2-enabled project always comes with a pom.xml file which contains the Project Object Model (POM) for this project. The POM contains every important piece of information about a project, which can be a project description, versioning or distribution information, dependencies and much more. It is essentially a one-stop-shopping for finding anything related to a project.

nThe POM is the basic unit of work in Maven. Every task you ask Maven to perform will be conducted based upon the information found into your POM file.
