So regarding the Apache parent pom... generally I like to keep my code minimal 
and dependencies minimal, it reduces the surface area for problems, bugs, and 
all sort of other issues associated with software development. Just a practice 
I picked up along the way... That aside, I noticed that the Apache parent pom 
has includes for lots and lots of plugins and other configurations which I 
wasn't using, so I had cut it out. Thats really it, if you want to include it, 
I can turn it on next build. No biggie :)

Remember, I had made the release before some of these changes were checked in, 
so they will be included in the next release.

I installed the Windows version (except for virtual boxes there's no Linux 
here) of GnuPG, as soon as it generates a fingerprint, I'll add it, too.

Note, the data tags contain entries for both device-data and test-data. Should 
you wish to not include the test-data part, then using the separate "releases" 
folder would allow to add only one of them or both. 

It never caused any build problem, but the classifier "lost" its parent POM 
again It ain't so important if one right above was used, but unlike isolated 
settings of e.g.
--- maven-compiler-plugin:3.0:compile

all other POMs derived from either "apache-parent" or its children (like 
"devicemap-java") get the more recent version
--- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile


It won't break the build but make different Java artifacts inconsistent from 
common Apache settings. Using at least an appropriate version of the Apache 
parent would be highly advisable, not just for other plugins like RAT that are 
configured there, too. 

If you don't use it you need to maintain up to 400(!) lines of that Apache 
master POM in your own project, does anybody really want that burden, not to 
mention the Maven deploy settings for the right servers, etc.
