Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-2406:
------------------------------------
FYI, the original intent was for this file to be the language-independent
master location of the version. My hope was that one could just change that
one file and everything else would get it from there. That worked for every
build system but Maven, which requires an update to every pom.xml file.
Another way to fix things might be to have build.sh update the version in all
of the pom.xml files, keeping the version centralized?

> Key: AVRO-2406
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2406
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 1.9.0
> Reporter: Fokko Driesprong
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
>
> Right now we're still manually updating the VERSION.txt:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Release
> The process is cumbersome and error-prone. It would be better to automate the
> detection of this version. For example, generate this by extracting the
> version from the pom.xml.
