duplicate version/group-id in pom.xml

[Jakob Frank <ja...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

i just found that most pom.xml-s explicitly (re-)define the version
(and/or) group-id - which is the same as their parent's version /
group-id.

As this is a redundancy (and my IDE keeps complaining about it) i'd like
to remove the duplication and have the group-id and version inherited
[1].

CONS?

Best

Hi,

the version has been set automatically be the mvn release plugin. And it is
not strictly an error to have the version there, so I don't understand why
your IDE complains ;-) Actually, my IDE complains about the m2eclipse
plugin configuration, this plugin is broken. :)

If version and/or groupid can be safely removed, I am in favour of doing
so. Everything that simplifies the POM files is welcome :)

Greetings,

Sebastian
