I think I skimmed over the modules bit. As my comment suggested, I only thought it was to replace them where they matched.

ie:

<dependency>
  <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
  <artifactId>other-artifactId</artifactId>
  <version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>

would become:

<dependency>
  <artifactId>other-artifactId</artifactId>
</dependency>

Which I think we've seen suggested before.

Anything more than that is probably not going to be as feasible and prone to confusion.

First question, wouldn't ${project.version} solve the use case of
updating same versioned dependencies?

Also: "A <version> that was omitted in a <dependency> section can only
be resolved if the referenced modules are resolved. So if it is NOT
part of the sub-tree where the build was invoked we have a problem to
solve. However this can be done by adding a list of projects named
"closure" similar to the reactor but that is build from the
toplevel-pom recursively following the <modules>."

This doesn't work unless you have a whole project checked out on disk.
You couldn't resolve from a repository because the module entry refers
to a subfolder of where  to pom is, but in a repository it's
meaningless...ie it has no complete coordinates.

Hi Brett,

Thanks for taking care. I already thought that this will gonna be ignored.

So the summary is that if omitted on a dependency, the group ID and
version should match that of the current project, and on deployment it
needs to be populated?

Yes, correctly - at least the version is the important one
for omitting, I have no need for omitting groupId.
DependencyManagement should still overrule for compatibility
reasons.
If it is all just that easy as you point it out ;)

Thanks
 Jörg
