Commons Super POM for Open Source projects.
The Super POM contains build configuration that is common to many (sometimes all) modules.
The motivation for its use is to single-source as much of the lightweight, often-used build configuration as possible.
Add the following to the top of your project's root or parent pom.xml:
<parent>
<groupId>com.bazaarvoice.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>bv-opensource-super-pom</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<relativePath />
</parent>
