True. We won't use vman for B*MS/DV/FSW 6.1.x. However, our new
tooling
will remove the <repositories> section from the POM files that we
process.
We do this because it is a requirement from Project Wolf. If we want
to
add this to the quickstarts' POM's, then I think that we'll need to
either:
co-ordinate with the Wolf team, and
update the tooling to handle an exception for quickstarts (or use some
other process to align the quickstarts to the correct BOM)
+1
or:
find a way of making developers use a settings.xml file
we tried doing that but since it requires they read the readme or look
at the quickfixes warnings
eclipse gives you before trying it have not had the expected effect :)
