Re: [xwiki-devs] Keeping uniform jar versions across modules

Hi, I have frequently encountered this problem that versions of third party jars across modules are not uniform. Like the xwiki-core uses commons-lang of version 2.1 and lucene 2.3. Similarly some module uses xerces-impl of version 2.0.2 where as some other 2.8.1. As the xwiki build can be made of different modules as per custom requirements, when we bring these modules together there is a conflict in the jar versions. This way different jars of same version end up in the lib directory and causes class not found exceptions. I don't know what is the best way to avoid such a problem, but best I can think is when building the pom we should ensure that version of the third party jar stays uniform atleast across xwiki-platform.
