Gunnar Morling it's just about following the same conventions so that productization can use the same Maven properties to override a dependency version or a plugin version or the Java version used as a target.

We certainly don't inherit from them.

I already did it for OGM and Search. HV was the last piece missing.

The obvious benefit is all the NoORM projects are now consistent in this matter.

At some point, I would like to have a common parent for our projects but that's for another day (and another discussion).
