15.51A realistic `pom.xml` concept

You may see something roughly like:

<properties>
    <app.runtime>...</app.runtime>
    <mule.maven.plugin.version>...</mule.maven.plugin.version>
</properties>

<dependencies>

    <dependency>
        <!-- Salesforce Connector -->
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <!-- HTTP Connector -->
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

<build>

    <plugins>

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>mule-maven-plugin</artifactId>

            <configuration>
                <cloudhub2Deployment>
                    ...
                </cloudhub2Deployment>
            </configuration>

        </plugin>

    </plugins>

</build>

Again, don't memorize XML.

Understand what it represents.
