Introduce own parent pom

[schrepfler]

@cstamas can you point to good examples of "own parent POM" used for maven plugins. If my memory serves me I used that one maybe as recommended way to publish to sonatype but it might be completely obsolete by now. Is there a recommended maven bill-of-materials pom I can reference?

Hey, re parent POM, easiest is to just copy current one, update all the (ancient) bits in it, and republish it (by you), for example as net.sigmalab.maven.plugins:plugins (so change the groupId and artifactId to one you have perms to publish, change license and all the bits you think is important). Once deployed and in Maven Central, just create PR here to update parent.

Maven BOM will be available for Maven 4.x, but not for Maven 3.x AFAIK...
