Description

We publish the version properties used for building and testing Camel via camel-dependencies pom.xml artifact. Currently the pom.xml file contains a copy of the properties present in camel-parent. The two files are kept in sync by sync-properties-maven-plugin triggered from camel-catalog.

With this setup the folks often forget to run the sync mojo which leads to inconsistent commits and fixups that pollute the git history.

Because we do not use camel-dependencies in Camel source tree ourselves, we could produce the pom.xml with those version properties during the build and thus avoid managing the the properties twice.

A PR is underway.
