Hi Cynthia,

The pure-poms serve as a master pom for most/all of the indie projects. The common project is actually an indie project itself and contains a few shared API's like privacy, archive and profile. They are a common dependency for a few other projects (roster, profile etc). You'll need common for these projects to build, although generally they are in binary form so you don't need the source included in your build. The aim of the indie projects is so that local implementors don't need to download the source for things they don't need to modify themselves. Of course, if you have local changes you need to make, you'll need the source.

Pure-poms could definitely be left out - the projects that need these dependencies will grab them from the maven2 repo at build time.

cheers,
Steve
