maven-parent

A common Maven Parent for all GDCC and IQSS Java projects:

<parent>
    <groupId>io.gdcc</groupId>
    <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
    <version>x.y.z</version>
</parent>

Aside from dependencies and plugin management, the Parent POM provides sane defaults for <groupId> and the extended project information bits <url>, <organization>, <issueManagement>, <scm>, <ciManagement> and <distributionManagement>. You can always completely override them in a child project.
