How do I see a better view of my module's POM?

From Kedar:

POM has an inheritance relationship (POM is the Maven project object model). So, sometimes, it is useful to see what a given project's POM derives
from its parents and grand-*-parents. To do this, you need a Maven plugin. This is called the maven projecthelp plugin. Two commands are useful in this regard:

mvn [-U] projecthelp:effective-pom
mvn [-U] projecthelp:effective-settings

As always, you might not have the plugin in your local repository, and in this case, you need to use -U.
