Hello Devs,

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? 

Thanks,

Justin
