Jörg Hohwiller commented on MNG-624:
------------------------------------
Thanks to Abhishekh Padmanbhan for his suggested workaround. This is really
helpful and not a really well-known feature.
The unresolved variables are already addressed by MNG-2971 which is still the
showstopper here. Your further workarounds might work, but this should really
be fixed in maven itself as everybody will run into such problem then and needs
to do silly workarounds.

> currently, you have to specify the parent version when extending which makes
> a project stand alone very easily, but has the drawback of being a
> maintainance problem when you start development on a new version. Tools can
> help, but it would be nice not to have to rely on them.
> One alternative is to allow the parent version to be omitted, and when it is
> it is assumed you want the latest. The parent is used from the reactor or the
> universal source directory. IT may also be read from a LATEST in the
> repository though this is contentious - it may be better to simply fail in
> that environment and require builds be in a known checkout structure for
> building individual projects.
> This also introduces the need for tool support to populate the version on
> release and deployment for reproducibility.
