I have a parent project and two child projects - the directory structure is
pom.xml
--child1/pom.xml
--child2/pom.xml
The top-level pom defines all the dependencies for the children - child1
contains the actual sources and child2 is merely a placeholder for
aggregating the transitive dependencies into a separate artifact. Obviously
the top level pom and child1's pom need to be synchronized version-wise so
that child1 is built against the right dependencies, but there appears to be
no way to avoid having to manually bump child1's <parent> element so that it
inherits from the right version of the top-level pom. Even a reasonable
hack in child1's pom,
<version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
<parent>
<groupId>xx</groupId>
<artifactId>yy</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</parent>
doesn't work - ${project.version} doesn't seem to be substituted with
1.3-SNAPSHOT in time for the dependency to resolve correctly. Am I stuck
with manually editing the <version> tag every time I release the top-level
pom or am I missing something?
