Hi folks,

  WildFly-core's root pom acting as BOM and getting imported into WildFly's root pom via dependencyManagement
to be able to align the shared dependencies, it works good most of the time but has problems[1] on dependencies
which are used only for testing in wildfly-core but are used in production in WildFly full. Please refer to the
Jira issue[1] for more detail and context.

  There is a PR[2] open to address that problem by introducing a testbom which contains such dependencies. Any
module depending on such dependencies can add the testbom with an import scope.

  The PR tries to move the following dependencies from WildFly-core's root pom to the new created testbom:
  - commons-io:commons-io
  - com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind
  - xalan:xalan

  Once the PR gets approved, it needs any project depending on wildfly-core's root pom to check, like adding
the commons-io:commons-io dependency in case of WildFly full[3].

  Does anyone see problems with such a move? Thank you !
