The scijava POM:

https://github.com/scijava/scijava-common/blob/master/pom-scijava/pom.xml

is the intended parent POM for the scijava software stack. So basically,
every (Mavenized) sourcecode's top-evel pom.xml lists it as parent POM.
This is the case for ImgLib, ImageJ2, Bio-Formats, SCIFIO, and I probably
forgot a few. That POM lists a few Maven repositories and current versions
of components of the scijava software stack.

The current version for mpicbg is listed as 20111128, but I recently
uploaded a new artifact (manually, since mpicbg is not Mavenized) with the
version 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT. I needed to do that because parts of Fiji, in
particular blockmatching_.jar, require a newer version of that library.

Now, I do not foresee any conflicts introduced by pushing the mpicbg
version in the scijava POM to 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT, but as there are now
potentially many projects depending on scijava.pom, I want to play it
carefully.

Christian Dietz from the KNIME project already indicated privately that
they are unaffected by that version change.

Ciao,
