Use top-level Apache pom for shared configuration
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HBASE-2394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2394
             Project: Hadoop HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 0.21.0
            Reporter: Paul Smith
            Priority: Minor


Lars Francke suggested this one to me offline and I think it's an excellent idea, so just raising it here for posterity.

see https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/releases/org/apache/apache/7/apache-7.pom

If we changed the HBase top-level pom to have a parent of the ASF one we can share some configuration love here, take advantage of 'known good' plugins, slim down the HBase pom definition even more (I love removing code, it's my favourite task) and abide by standard Apache release artifact signing and packaging processes.

this _should_ be simple.  Lars or I will work up a patch when one of us has some time.  

(nice thinking Lars!)
