[Building Sakai] Validating pom.xml files

[Jim Eng]

I would like to suggest that we add the schema references to the  
pom.xml files as is shown in the project tag in the sample file in the  
maven documentation:

http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Quick_Overview

Our files would all start like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
   http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

The benefit of adding those attributes to project tag is that people  
who edit pom.xml files in smart XML editors (like oxygen http://www.oxygenxml.com/) 
  can then check that the pom's are valid.

Jim
