Looking at the history of the uima-wide parent-pom (it's at version 14-SNAPSHOT), it has 2 Jiras and an improvement to the rat configuration (to print names of files with license issues).
The 2 Jiras (thanks to Richard :-) ) : [UIMA-6184] Move code quality profiles to parent POM * Formatting (mostly tabs -> spaces) * Exclude Eclipse .factorypath file from rat check * Replaced findbugs with spotbugs since the former is no longer maintained * Replaced cobertura with jacoco since the former is no longer maintained * Updated PMD version * Pass encoding and targetJdk parameters on to PMD * Updated japicmp-maven-plugin version * Make postAnalysisScript path configurable via a simple property instead of forcing downstream POMs to re-declare the plugin [UIMA-6181] Fix complaints about maven-plugin-plugin in Eclipse - Added m2e lifecycle configuration for maven-plugin-plugin since mavendev m2e connector is no longer maintained - Minor formatting There's a Jira for the uimaj (core) which depends on this being released. Any objections to going ahead and releasing this? -Marshall
