Description

The current Eclipse plugins have complex maven poms - simplify by factoring out common things to a common super pom for the eclipse plugins, which will, in turn, inherit from the uimaj super pom.

Put this new pom in the uimaj project - no need for another project just for this.

Add configuration info so the eclipse:eclipse plugin does the right class path setup even when it is run from the top level. This will allow cd to the uimaj project, and running eclipse:eclipse there, and having it work, as well as working in individual project directories.

For POMs which inherit from our project poms, replace the <groupId> with a comment saying it is inherited from the super pom, and replace the <version> with a comment saying it's inherited from the super pom.

Make the eclipse plugin super pom have the right form of the version (the one with the "." instead of the "-" in front of the "incubator" token).
