hmm actually putting it in commons doesn't work... :( If it's in commons it needs to have valid content as a common POM. For example it needs to have <groupId>org.xwiki.commons</groupId>. Same for <scm>, etc. Thus it doesn't bring any value and is actually empty...
So we have 2 options I believe: - option 1: move it to xwiki-contrib on github so that it can have default values which are the closest possible to what is needed - option 2: don't use a contrib top level pom and instead create an archetype to generate a valid project/POM WDYT?
