This is also best practice. Appliying DRY principles you pull up all the dependency information from your child poms into your parent pom's dependencyManagement section. Then in your child poms you *always* omit the version information in your dependency section. This way you know that your project is using a consistent version of artifacts. The last thing you want is for your project to be using a mish-mash of GWT versions (1.0 in one project, 2.6 in another, etc). This gives you one place to define the versions. And when its time to upgrade then one place to make the change. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
