Description
Familiarizing myself with Apache's CXF's build process, I made a few refinements to the main pom.xml file (note: testing is needed on these changes).
Below are descriptions of the changes, the updated pom.xml from the CXF 2.3.0 project and a diff file between the old and new pom.xml files are attached.
The refinements:
1) Reorganized elements relative to Maven project descriptor reference: http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/maven.html
2) Added "description" element. Note: This description should be expanded by someone more versed in CXF's main features.
3) Added empty elements where there is no present content.
4) Made the following versioning changes:
Updated maven-project-info-reports-plugin from 2.1.1 to 2.2.
Referenece: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-project-info-reports-plugin/jira-report.html
Updated maven-javadoc-plugin from 2.6 to 2.7.
Reference: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/jira-report.html
Updated maven-release-plugin from 2.0 to 2.1.
Reference: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/usage.html
5) Performed formatting using NetBeans default XML formatting settings.
6) Question: Shouldn't there be a parent element? I made no changes here, but think that there should be.
Note: If you open up the attached pom.xml file in Firefox, you will not see the applied spacing (but it's there).
