Description

The cxf parent (cxf-parent) includes dependency management for io.netty:netty. This artifact was moved/relocated to io.netty:netty-all in version 4 of Netty. So the io.netty:netty artifact does not exist in version > 4. Still the dependency management entry refers to the version property cxf.netty.version, with version > 4.

This bug makes cxf-parent invalid as a BOM (ref CXF-7750).

I see two potential solutions to this:

1. Delete the dependency management for io.netty:netty
2. Change version of io.netty:netty to the version property cxf.netty3.version
