Apache CXF has several poms that follow this pattern:
....
<properties>
<jetty.version>6.1.24</jetty.version>
</properties>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>g</groupId>
<artifactId>a</artifactId>
<version>${jetty.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
I was very surprised to learn, recently, that the release publication
process leaves the property reference in the POM. Then, if some
project of mine lists one of these projects as a dependency, and then
sets jetty.version to something else, CXFs dependencies follow along.
Oops. I somehow expected that the release process would resolve these
props and replace them with fixed values.
