Description

I think we should require Maven 2.0.10 as a minimum version as this version is the first version handling defined dependencies in the order they are defined in the pom on all machines. This avoids difference in the dependency order between users.
2.0.10 is out for a long time now and people should really use this version and not one of the older 2.0.x versions

We should update to the latest apache parent pom, version 7 - with this update we can clean up our pom:

• Remove the version from the javadoc plugin - use the version from parent pom
• Remove the version from the enforcer plugin - use the version from the parent pom
• Remove the definition of the maven assembly plugin - it's already in the parent pom
• Remove our own configuration for the assembly plugin

We should also update the following plugin version

• changes plugin from 2.1 to 2.3
