Hi Alejandro,I know what you are talking about and was facing the same trouble with maven.
This is why I wrote flatten-maven-plugin.You might want to wait for beta-2 to get startet, but you could already give it a try if you want.
To be warned: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-2030

I have a pretty deep hierarchy of poms, ~ 4 or 5 levels where each level contains certain parameters. Sometimes when I want to change one of the root parameters and then release I am forced to release 4 or 5 poms, one at a time, before I can release the artifact we actually ship, otherwise the m-release-p will complain about snapshots. Can this plugin help with that? i.e help in releasing a chain of poms in one shot where some of the parents have SNAPSHOT dependencies. I cannot release from the higher levels because they aggregate the lower levels so this would release a lot of artifacts when I am trying to release only one of the leaf ones. To be clear, when I release only the higher level poms, I have to disable aggregation to avoid releasing too much In other words, I would need this plugin to basically only flatten when doing a release, but i am not sure if the switcheroo happens only at deploy time or early on so the snapshot-to-release changes in the pom done by the release-plugin would happen in the flattened version Anyone knows?
