David Mollitor updated AVRO-2860:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
So, I see that the project currently inherits from:

{code:xml}
 <parent>
    <groupId>org.apache</groupId>
    <artifactId>apache</artifactId>
    <version>23</version>
  </parent>
{code}

That's great.

However, there are quite a few places where the values from this parent POM are 
being overrided and I'm not quite sure why.  The Avro project should be pretty 
conservative here and be sticking as closely as possible to the parent POM in 
the same spirit that Avro is build with Java 1.8 (which is EOL).  This will 
make Avro easier to consume for upstream projects.  They shouldn't have to be 
doing anything special to allow for Avro overrided values.

I propose reverting some plugin versions so that the project more closely 
aligns with the POM.
