The version is fully specified by the parent. Okay, that's nice. But it just doesn't work for me. I get these errors: Validation Messages: [0] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for commons-collections:commons-collections [1] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for org.springframework:spring-full [2] 'dependencies.dependency.version' is missing for commons-logging:commons-logging Reason: Failed to validate POM What could I have missed? ~ David Smiley MITRE --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
