Update libraries to newer versions (maven and 3rd party)

[Former user]

Original issue 306 created by @ysavourel on 2013-01-03T18:49:17.000Z:

Not a bug, just routine cleanup.

I have attached some reports, based on the logs from running
mvn versions:display-dependency-updates
mvn versions:display-plugin-updates
mvn dependency:analyze
mvn dependency:tree

We are better at this now, we update versions more often. And it is easier to do, with a central superpom.

We are still behind with a few libraries that changed APIs in incompatible ways (lucene).

But I would not consider this a bug, really, it is in the "continuous maintenance" class. Should we close it?

[Mihai Nita]

Closing it as "not a bug, but process" and "we kind of do it". We are more disciplined in doing this for each release.
