Tidalwave - SuperPOM

The super POM for all Tidalwave projects. It is not designed for being used by others, as it contains some corporate-specific configurations, but its ancestor TheseFooolishThings SuperPOM has been designed to be reusable. Please have a look at it.

This super POM adds to its ancestor:

• some Tidalwave variables that refers to the issue tracker, continuous integration system, etc...;
• the definitions of versions of a number of commonly used libraries and their dependency management:
  • AspectJ
  • Hamcrest Matchers
  • JSR 330
  • Jakarta XML Binding (JAXB)
  • Spotbugs annotations
  • JUnit
  • Logback
  • Lombok
  • SLF4J
  • Spring 5
  • TestNG
• the definition for Tidalwave 3rd party repository (stuff that is not available on Maven Central);
• a profile for using the TheseFoolishThings Event Bus (it.tidalwave-spring-messagebus-v1);
• profiles for the Mycila License plugin;
• configuration of the UMLGraphDoc maven plugin;
• the configuration for the TheseFoolishThings TestNG listener (which provides enhanced test logging);
• definitions of some custom javadoc tags;
• a blacklist for some old artifacts;
• some other minor customisations.

To learn more about the things of this project, please have a look at its site - http://tidalwave.it/projects - where more documentation, javadoc and build reports are provided.
