[Building Sakai] Kernel

> Another thing to keep in mind is that certain indie tools (i.e.entiybroker) use purepoms as a parent.  purepoms also has a reference to kernel under sakai-basic-tool/pom.xml. If you don't have a customized  local purepoms,  certain indie tools will pulling a different kernel version.

The other option is to have a local instance of kernel but not change its version. This option however, will make it difficult to verify which version you are pulling, your local kernel or community kernel.
