Heya, At the bottom of [0], we're having a small discussion about the impact of the flatten-maven-plugin on the poms we publish. For background, since we've started using Maven's "CI Friendly Versions" feature, we have also started using the flatten plugin on install/deploy [1]. I notice that using the default configurations, we lose almost all of the project/community metadata from the poms. I'm wondering if we should go out of our way to preserve this extra info in our poms, or if it's really just extra weight in the distribution that users can find on our website.
Whichever path we choose, we should apply the setting across all of our project repositories. Thanks, Nick [0]: https://github.com/apache/hbase-operator-tools/pull/112 [1]: https://maven.apache.org/maven-ci-friendly.html#install-deploy
