David Mollitor updated AVRO-2860:
---------------------------------
Description:
So, I see that the project currently inherits from:
{code:xml}
<parent>
<groupId>org.apache</groupId>
<artifactId>apache</artifactId>
<version>23</version>
</parent>
{code}
That's great.
However, there are quite a few places where the values from this parent POM are
being overrided and I'm not quite sure why. I would suggest that the Avro
project should be pretty conservative here and be sticking as closely as
possible to the parent POM. It will make things more maintainable, as long as
the project updates the ASF Parent POM periodically, it will be pretty up to
date with plugins and not have to manage each one individually.
I propose reverting some plugin versions so that the project more closely
aligns with the POM and then the project need only stay in sync with the parent
POM releases and not each plugin individually.

conservative here and be sticking as closely as possible to the parent POM in
the same spirit that Avro is build with Java 1.8 (which is EOL).

POM releases and not each plugin individually.
