i am using dependency management for most of the stuff. However, keep in mind, devtools is a very unique case. I sometime depend on multiple versions of a given module, so sometimes use of properties is required.

You could use it where you are using properties now though... for example in plug8ins/org.aapche.geronimo.runtime.v20/pom.xml

You define:

    <properties>
        <geronimoVersion>2.0-SNAPSHOT</geronimoVersion>
        <openejbVersion>3.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT</openejbVersion>
    </properties>

And then reference the version in <artifactItem> and in <dependency>. If you defined the deps in a <dependencyManagement> section then you could omit the version for both.

Using properties for versions in m2 is bad practice IMO, its been brought over from m1 days. Using dependencyManagement is the preferred mechanism for configuring versions in m2.

Prediciting your next response on why multiple versions are needed...

Every release of the G plugins provide cumalative support for previous version of Geronimo. So while Geronimo moves on with development, forgetting prior releases, from a tooling perspective I cannot do that. So while trunk it geronimo implies "2.0 and 2.0" only. Trunk in devtools implies "1.0, 1.1.x, and 2.0 support on the latest version of WTP (installable as individual features).

You really should use the dependencyManagement feature of maven 2 to manage versions, please don't use properties like this.
