getSuperModel

Model getSuperModel(String version)

Gets the super POM for the specified model version. The returned model is supposed to be read-only, i.e. if the caller intends to make updates to the model the return value must be cloned before updating to ensure the modifications don't affect future retrievals of the super POM.

Parameters:

version - The model version to retrieve the super POM for (e.g. "4.0.0"), must not be null.

Returns:

The super POM, never null.
