Issue Type: Improvement Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1
Assignee: Unassigned
Created: 28/Oct/13 9:30 AM
Description:

I would be nice if the use-lastest-versions (and all the use-latest-* and use-next-*) mojo could also update properties that define the version to be updated.

This would of course require that the property be defined locally in the same pom. I believe the fix is in PomHelper.setDependencyVersion, when it determines if haveOldVersion - around line 602. I will do my best to submit a patch for this, but I would like some idea of how likely it would be to be accepted (as a feature - assuming the patch is good enough).

(An added bonus would be to update properties in the parent poms if it is a multi-module project and the plugin is run from the top. But that is a much bigger and more difficult change.)

I would be happy if this feature were enabled by a property that was by default false to preserve existing behaviour.

I suppose this could be resolved by MVERSIONS-191 and then just using both update-properties use-latestversions together.
