Rick, It can be that easy.
It can be more difficult. Besides nudging the metadata in your pom.xml, it's also a matter of looking at every file in your local overlay and comparing it with the latest in CAS and considering the differences in the vanilla CAS 3.4.12 and vanilla CAS 3.5.1 versions. As in, if the vanilla file changed, you might want to apply something like that change locally, or you might want to delete your local file, pull down the copy from CAS 3.5.1, and edit it anew. In some cases "might want" becomes "you must do this or it won't work" -- things are allowed to change between a 3.4 and a 3.5 version. But in general, yes, the Maven overlay practice is supposed to make upgrades easier by minimizing your local source files down to just the ones that are unique and special to your environment and making the version of the product you're overlaying upon a matter of declarative configuration in pom.xml.
