Hi Markos,
You need to release your dependencies first (to create the non-snapshot
versions) and then update your project POMs to refer to the released versions.
Then you can release your main project. It is only when the dependencies are
themselves modules in your project and will be released with it that you have
the dependency version changed when you release - and even then, you have to do
it by using the ${project.version} property.
