Hi what I'm aware of for this purpose is the following plugin:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/properties-maven-plugin/usage.html However it's not maintained anymore since 2009! The other option would be to use the Kuali's plugin but I'm not sure about it's licence (it's already available in central repo): http://site.kuali.org/maven/plugins/properties-maven-plugin/1.1.9/read-project-properties-mojo.html No matter which one we would want to make use of, the tough part of this would be to convert the lines like: <ahc-version>1.7.19</ahc-version> into: ahc-version=1.7.19 But it should be possible to automate this conversion with couple of lines of code, or maybe even a new Camel date format for this purpose :-) Babak Claus Ibsen-2 wrote > Hi > > Today we have the parent/pom.xml file which has both all the versions > of the 3rd party JARs we have as dependencies.
