I notice that, when a release manager is cutting a new release, she or he has to update the <version> element of all the dependent pom.xml files (in the recent case, from 1.3.3-SNAPSHOT to 1.3.3, and then from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4-SNAPSHOT). Since these poms all inherit from a parent pom that has the version number in it, is it possible to use ${pom.version} in all the child poms as well, to avoid having to change this in more than one place?
