Hi Justin,<br>
<br>
Take a look at those intermediate aggregator poms (for example
drools-multiproject) per git repo.<br>
You 'll see they contain some stuff we can't do without:<br>
<ul>
<li>Location of JBoss repository</li>
<ul>
<li>required to find and download the droolsjbpm-parent pom
(because that's in a different repo)<br>
</li>
<li>so the build works out-of-the-box (very important for
getting the community involved)<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Repo specific overwrites that apply to all of the modules in
that repo but not in the others</li>
<ul>
<li>dependency versions sometimes (these are temporary hacks
that must be removed but there are always some)</li>
<li>plugin configurations</li>
<li><scm> info to find the git repo</li>
<li>...<br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>

<p style="">Hello Devs,</p>
<p style="">I'm currently working on a project where I'm embedding
Drools inside my application and using Maven to pull down the
necessary artifacts. During this exercise, I've noticed that
each project's pom (e.g. drools-core) references an aggregator
pom (e.g drools-multiproject) as its parent. These aggregators
then reference droolsjbpm-parent as their parent. I'm no maven
expert, but it seems to me that this introduces an unnecessary
layer of artifacts in the maven repository. My understanding is
that aggregators are present solely to propagate build commands
to their children and do not contain dependency information (as
is the case in the Drools aggregators), so shouldn't the project
poms reference droolsjbpm-parent directly? </p>
