----------------------------------------

Thanks Tom. It's better now. 
The same can be done for HDFS-1063 and MAPREDUCE-1619.

One last comment on this...

bq. That said, I still don't get Ivy's configurations, and may have made a hash 
of them.

I find Ivy's configuration confusing as well and I do not understand the 
benefit of having so many. Steve?

Also, I am not sure how to map them to Maven's scopes.
Should we map the "test" configuration to the "test" scope, instead of 
"compile"?

{code}
<ivy:makepom ivyfile="${basedir}/ivy.xml" pomfile="${hadoop-core-test.pom}">
   <mapping conf="test" scope="compile"/>
</ivy:makepom>
{code}

> Currently the Maven POM file is generated from a template file that includes 
> the versions of all the libraries we depend on.  The versions of these 
> libraries are also present in ivy/libraries.properties, so that, when a 
> library is updated, it must be updated in two places, which is error-prone.  
> We should instead only specify library versions in a single place.
