Description

While checking up on the dependencies bundled with rave-shindig I noticed two duplicate (conflicting) jars:

• json-20070829.jar (from shindig-server war) & json-20090211.jar (dependency from rave-core)
• icu4j-4.8.1.1.jar (from shindig-server war) & icu4j-4.6.1.jar (dependency from rave-core)

This fundamentally is the problem with maven war overlays: maven cannot check and align overlayed war internal dependencies.
For this reason I already opened up an issue at Shindig: SHINDIG-1691 to help up better manage and use the shindig-server war similar to what we do with rave-portal ourselves.

For the time being, I'll fix this issue by:
a) bump our icu4j version (as defined as property in our root pom.xml) to newer version as used by Shindig itself
b) add an extra maven-war-plugin configuration for rave-shindig to manually exclude the older json-20070829.jar from the shindig-server war
