Description

Currently the Maven POM file is generated from a template file that includes the versions of all the libraries we depend on. The versions of these libraries are also present in ivy/libraries.properties, so that, when a library is updated, it must be updated in two places, which is error-prone. We should instead only specify library versions in a single place.
