[hibernate-dev] HSEARCH - Assorted fixes to the pom files

Hi, I'm planning to work on the pom files in the next few days. Here is more or less the plan I have in mind: - centralize all dependencies versions in the properties of the parent pom file. A couple of them are directly in the dependencyManagement block. It's easier to update them this way. - same for the Maven plugins; - I would like to enforce the dependency convergence rule via the enforcer plugin: a few additional dependency management declaration will be needed to get everything right. See http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/dependencyConvergence.html for more information. - remove the commons-logging API altogether and use slf4j and its wrapper for commons-logging - update a few core dependencies (especially Javassist to the version used in ORM, slf4j, log4j, commons-io which is a solr dependency and Solr is now using 2.1, not 1.4) - update the activemq dependency if it's not too much of a pain as it's only a test dependency; - remove outdated comments: I'm especially thinking about the one for the log4j dependency: the problem has been fixed a while ago; - in latest JBoss EAP, Jackson is in a custom version of 1.9.9 (there is a "redhat" qualifier in the version string): maybe, I was thinking about upgrading the dependency to at least 1.9.9, instead of 1.9.2 (which is effectively the version used in AS 7.1); - remove the lucene-regex dependency management definition: this dependency isn't declared anywhere, except in the modules file. I think it's a leftover of something and we should get rid of it altogether; - remove the luceneRegexJakartaVersion property: it's not used anywhere. Interested in a couple of +1/-1 before starting this work. -- Guillaume
