Problem with sample POMs

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

Every time I try to run maven for one of the samples, it decides that
it wants a special experimental version of CXF that I had at one point
(version 2.2-xmlschema-2.0). I think that the POM construct [2,0 is
too aggressive. How could we trim it back, or make it respect the
local environment?

The only way to do this would be to change the release process slightly and 
add a new profile that would include all the samples.   

Basically, add a "samples" profile that would include all the samples into the 
reactor.   Slightly tricky as the samples don't have  a "samples-parent" or 
something that currently points at all of them.     

Once that is done, the release procedure would change from:
mvn release:prepare -Peverything
to
mvn release:prepare -Peverything,samples

That would allow the release plugin to update the version numbers of all the 
sample poms as well.
