Ten, you might not need version in your child pom.xml files, if child pom.xml already have parent pom version. In my multi module project, with following structure - 4 pom files, 1 for the parent, and 3 for modules:
+ parent (pom) - child1 (jar) - child2 (jar) - child3 (war) I'd define version in parent pom, but in childX poms, there will be no version defined, apart from parent's version inside //project/parent/vesion Regards, Ziga On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 4:18 PM, TenLeftFingers <[email protected]>wrote: > Stephen Connolly, thank you.
