Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on RAT-193:
-----------------------------------------
Ah sorry. was a little bit unclear.
The parent which is used is version 16 which will not change so all the plugins
have been defined by the
[pluginManagement|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/pom/tags/apache-16/pom.xml?view=markup]
block in the parent. If you don't change the parent the plugins will be kept
with their appropriate versions. So you don't need to redefine plugins with
their versions.
You can of course override the plugin versions in the child with different
versions. This can be achieved by using a pluginManagement block as well or
directly given in the build section.
Using the parent usually reduces the size of the pom.
> Take advantage of inheritance from ASF parent version 16
