Use a property for the version + you can also use dependencyManagement. But I doubt whether dependencyManagement version will flow to dependency:unpack configurations. So property is best solution.

This dependency is an internally maintaned library and is updated frequently. So whenever the library is updated, we tell our developers to update their version of the dependency and everything works the way we wanted. The problem is that, now that I am using the dependency:unpack to copy some configuration files from the library into the project, I would have to tell our developers to update the dependency version in two places, one in the <dependencies> section and other in the <build> section where I am doing the unpacking Is there is a better solution to this? Can I only change the version number in the <dependencies> section and maybe read that version of this dependency from there in my <build> section? Or any other ideas? thanks -------------------------------------------- Shahzad Qureshi Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
