[cle-release-team] Merging pom.xml and master/pom.xml

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi all,

Now are are moving towards more indie releases, what is the benefit of having two poms - the main pom.xml and master/pom.xml? I know that historically all tools used to use it as the parent, but that is no longer the case. In fact most tools now declare a pom from purepoms as their master.

What do people think about cleaning this up and combining them? It should make things easier for pushing a button to deploy a release of the CLE.

In one of our instances of Sakai, we have done exactly this. One pom.xml, no master. Combined.
