Hello folks, I sent a pull request last night but its also worth discussing on here.
When me an StarchMD were having a chat in Austin, we wanted to sort out some of the build process and locations. Personally one of my issues when using OODT is the sheer amount of dependencies. Clearly most of these are required, but keeping track of the versions across modules is a pain. The pull request you see here: https://github.com/apache/oodt/pull/25 addresses that by moving the versions from the sub modules up to OODT Core so when a version is changed it is changed in all the submodules. This removes a lot of the duplication and I believe it makes it easier to see which version is being used. If there is a requirement to override a specific version of a dependency in a submodule this can still be done, but it would also be nicer, in my opinion, just upgrade the main dependency so that all modules rely on the same version which makes integration a whole lot easier. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks Tom
