[jira] [Updated] (SMX4-794) Provide a convenience POM for users

["Gert Vanthienen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SMX4-794?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Gert Vanthienen updated SMX4-794:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: parent.xml

parent.xml is a sample of what we should be able to provide : a POM that has managed dependencies and plugins for all the stuff people are using when they're building applications for ServiceMix

I'm only struggling a bit with what the best way would be to get this included in the build: currently tinkering to create a 'parent' module that has this kind of pom and then let the root pom inherit from it and add the bits we require to build ServiceMix itself in the root pom.

> When people start developing application for ServiceMix, they quickly find themselves defining version and dependencies for the different bits (Camel, ActiveMQ, ...) that have to be kept aligned every time they upgrade to a new version of ServiceMix.  We should provide them with a convenience POM they can inherit from/import into their POMs to make it possible to upgrade by just altering that one POM.
> I don't think our current features' root POM, although it has all the dependencies in there, is a good match here because that also has a lot of stuff that is really specific to building ServiceMix itself rather than for building bundles for ServiceMix, so we should probably create a new POM especially for this goal from the information we have in our build.
