New Blueprint Parent

A new parent POM cms-blueprint-parent has been introduced and is used as (transitive) parent for every Blueprint module. It contains basic plugin management, especially for the install- and deploy-plugin for which it is important that all modules use the same versions.

You could use the cms-blueprint-parent as parent of your custom parent, or integrate the pluginManagement as necessary.
