File extension .POM
The POM .pom file extension is associated with the Apache Maven software. Maven is an open-source project build and project management tool developed by the Apache Foundation. Maven, written in Java, is primarily used to compile, deploy, and manage Java projects. POM files are plain text documents that define the projects build, dependencies, plugin configuration, and other settings.
Project Object Model File Details
POM files store configuration related to a particular project and contain information such as project dependencies, plugin configuration, various goals, and interaction with source control systems. In the hierarchy of a POM file, the .pom extension marks the root element of the document since it should always contain a

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .POM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .POM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .POM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .POM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .POM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .POM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .POM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .POM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .POM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .POM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
