Jo Thanks for the quick reply. I tried using the release plugin , but it expects the SCM tool to be available I guess. I use Accurev as my SCM tool , and I don't think there is any accurev integration for maven yet.
Is there any other alternative or am I stuck now? -Satish -----Original Message----- From: Jo Vandermeeren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 3:25 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: inheriting parent version number in child poms Hi Satish, I guess you're adjusting the parent version manually? This doesn't get picked up by the child modules since in the child poms you're still referencing the parent with its old version. You could always use the release-plugin to release your versions (which is the preferred way to cut a release).. A "release:prepare" will iterate through the modules of a POM project and prompt you for the desired version to set on them (defaults are usually just fine)..
