Oh, that makes sense of course.
I thought I had seen a property used that way - but it must have been in specifying the version of a dependency :(

pom.xml and use that  in all other pom.xml files?

Cause you can't do it.   It won't work properly.

The <version> part of the <parent> needs to be explicitly set so maven can FIND the parent pom.xml. Otherwise, it won't know if the parent is 2.0, 2.1, etc...

Looks like it's pretty unanimous to go with a 2.0 version number.   I'm
going to update the poms to have the version number:

2.0-incubator-M1-SNAPSHOT

I'm also going to update the top level pom's distribution management
section to reflect the new incubating repository guidelines at:

Right now, the poms all are set to 1.1-SNAPSHOT.   Since we have to
change them, what are people's thoughts on the version number.   Couple
of options:

1) 1.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT  - since it's the first apache version
2) 2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT  - since both XFire and Celtix had 1.x
releases 3) Other options?

I'm kind of leaning toward option (2).    Actually, probably do:
2.0-incubating-m1-SNAPSHOT
to reflect we're working toward milestone 1.   Then hopefully start
releasing periodic milestones.

Any thoughts!
