IKE Base Parent

network.ike:ike-base-parent is the Tier 0 foundation parent POM for the IKE Network — the apex of the IKE parent inheritance forest.

What it provides

ike-base-parent carries the publishing-layer concerns shared by every IKE artifact, and nothing more — it is deliberately thin:

• Publishing metadata — developers, organization, license
• GPG artifact signing (Bouncy Castle signer)
• Maven Central deployment configuration (JReleaser)

Build conventions — Java version, compiler, test harness, enforcer — live in ike-parent, not here.

The parent tier

ike-base-parent                            Tier 0  — this POM
   ├── ike-java-support                    Tier 0  — value types
   ├── ike-workspace-extension             Tier 0  — Maven 4 ext
   ├── ike-version-management-extension    Tier 0  — Maven 4 ext
   ├── ike-tooling                         Tier 1
   ├── ike-docs                            Tier 1
   └── ike-platform                        Tier 1
          └── ike-parent                   Tier 2  — consumer-facing
                 └── consumers

ike-base-parent sits at the top of the release cascade and is published to Maven Central first, so every downstream POM's parent chain resolves cleanly.
