I finished moving things around. All the dependencies of the published
artifacts are in the `log4j` POM and versions are specified through
properties, so that they can be overridden in single modules. Of
course `log4j-bom` and `log4j-distribution` need to deal with their
dependencies independently (unless we add artifacts with `sources` and
`javadoc` classifiers to `log4j-bom`).
Two XSLT's in `src/tools` allow to sort the POMs and list all the
plugin and dependency versions that are explicitly provided. Excluding
the aforementioned `log4j`, `log4j-bom` and `log4j-distribution`,
these are the results of running `src/tools/explicit-version.xslt` on
all POMs (the comments are mine):
Artifact:log4j-cassandra
