Using dependencyManagement in the parent to specify the version of
dependencies is also an option. IMHO that's the true Maven way, but
Ron's approach could be an option in some cases. I don't like that
approach though as it will create an incorrect dependency tree
(dependencies will be on the wrong level and there will likely be too
many dependencies).
It reduces the number of dependencies at the module level since there is
a single provided dependency for all of Spring, Hibernate, MySQL and Tomcat.
Another for all of the stuff that is required for Faces, another for web
services, another for Apache commons and other third party libraries
(Jasper Reports, another for all of the libraries that we have made, etc..
The only downside is that there are a number of jars (about 10) that we
make that have to be added to the Tomcat shared lib at runtime to get
the 70+ libraries that we use.
It makes the module wars really small since they contain only the code
that we wrote for the module.
That speeds up the builds tremendously.
It also makes it much easier for the developers to set up a module since
they only have to depend on a few artifacts (usually about 5).
We are sure that their module is using the "correct" version of all of
the little libraries that they need.
All of the exclusions to avoid version conflicts are done inside the
shared jars so the developer does not have to worry about 2 versions of
Spring getting called up.
This reduces the dependency tree for the module and avoids run-time
library conflicts which was one of the problems that prompted us to
implement this.

Hi
I am new to maven. I want to maintain a separate POM file for version of
the jar files. This will help in maintaining the versions of jar files.
For
eg: if we are using junit.jar, the version of the jar file should be
maintain in the separate POM file. This will help us in changing in only
one
POM rather than all the POM files if any version changes is there. Please
help me in this regard.
