[Hawkular-dev] Parent POM and Wildfly BOM

[Lukas Krejci]

So wait a minute.

The changed dependency "suddenly" broke your rest tests.

IMHO, that is good in a sense that you now know something new about being 
deployed in another runtime environment (namely WF9) which metrics WILL BE 
deployed into.

Can it be painful? Yes, we've all been through such things. Is it avoidable? I 
don't think so.

The versions of the modules coming from the Hawkular parent are what Hawkular 
as whole standardizes on. You should not care about where they actually come 
from (and the fact that they come from WF bom is a good thing, btw).

If you open the door for individual modules having non-standard versions of 
dependencies, you know where we're going to end up.

I feel your pain, but please - standardization is more important that 
occasional troubles of a single component.
