Maven always knows how to expand ${project.version} where it is allowed,
which does not include inside of <parent/> elements. It's a basic maven
feature.
It is possible that you don't have the right pom content for the release
plugin, and have hit the remote tagging mess. And/or you don't have an
up-to-date svn client on your machine.
Here's what CXF uses:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-9</version>
<configuration>
<tagBase>https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cxf/tags
</tagBase>
<useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile>
<preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals>
<goals>deploy</goals>
<arguments>-Prelease,deploy</arguments>
<autoVersionSubmodules>true</autoVersionSubmodules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and here's what we use Internally at Basis:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-9</version>
<configuration>
<tagBase>
http://svn.basistech.net/engineering/etrog/tags</tagBase>
<useReleaseProfile>true</useReleaseProfile>
<releaseProfiles>release</releaseProfiles>
<remoteTagging>true</remoteTagging>
<preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals>
<goals>deploy</goals>
<autoVersionSubmodules>true</autoVersionSubmodules>
<allowTimestampedSnapshots>true</allowTimestampedSnapshots>
</configuration>
</plugin>
