----------------------------------------

             Summary: POM: If no dependency version is given it should be 
determined from the parent version
                 Key: IVY-1519
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1519
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven Compatibility
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Sebastian Schuberth


When e.g. asm-commons is transitively retrieved (in my case as part of 
Robolectric), Ivy fails to determine the correct version of asm-tree which 
asm-commons depends on. Looking at asm-common's POM [1]:

<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <parent>
    <artifactId>asm-parent</artifactId>
    <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
    <version>5.0.1</version>
  </parent>

  <name>ASM Commons</name>
  <artifactId>asm-commons</artifactId>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>
  
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <artifactId>asm-tree</artifactId>
      <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

</project>

So the asm-tree does not have a "<version>" tag, but the "<parent>" tag has. In 
that case Ivy should determine the version from the parent tag instead of 
hard-coding it do "working".
