If you read back to the start of the thread, you'll find that there are issues at release time when we need each commons component to be completely independent. Mark's strategy here is, IMHO, right. We have tried to get a shared version working, and it sort of does. However it has too many issues.
Personally, I would have kept the extends, but had it as <extends>project-commons.xml</extends>. That way it would be simple to update a shared base to each project simply by copying a whole file. But thats by the by - the main task is to ensure we can all develop and release as thats what we need to focus on ;-) BTW, thanks to Mark for following this through.
