Upgrade unrelated: remove default (super POM) settings
------------------------------------------------------
Key: MIFOS-4524
URL: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-4524
Project: mifos
Issue Type: Dev Task
Reporter: Michael Vorburger
The Mifos pom.xml sometimes contain "too much" - they repeat things which in
normal Maven usage are inherited from the parent pom.xml (in our case that
mifos-parent) and usually not repeated..
A specific problem I ran into while working on MIFOS-4099 was that the
<build><outputDirectory> was fixed to target/classes in several pom.xml - there
is no need to repeat such a default in every pom.xml (on my branch in
mifos-parent it's overriden, but because the default was repeated it didn't
work; background as to why it's overridden is on
http://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/display/MIFOS/WorkspaceEclipseMavenSettings#WorkspaceEclipseMavenSettings-SeparateEclipseandMavenbuildfolders)
It looks almost as if somebody thought it would be useful to repeat all of
Maven's "super POM" default configurations in every Mifos pom.xml - that's an
anti-pattern IMHO, and should be cleared out.
It would also make for shorter and more readable pom.xml files.
