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

[Matthew Jones]

We still have the two at Michigan, mostly because the master contains
dependencies/versions and other junk while the main pom contains the
profiles and modules. We don't even use the main pom, completely replacing
it, but we do change versions in the master (custom kernel, local msgcntr,
etc).

I'd really like it if master used something like maven-properties-plugin [1]
so then I wouldn't need to touch the master at all, just the file with the
properties in it, and then we'd have 3 files.

It looks like in the pom you linked you still have the parent as master. I
suppose removing base/master would also break some parent dependencies and
require cleanup.

The most annoying things for me as a deployer are bugs that we don't
control:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-707
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-624
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3328

Hate all of those! ;)
