Actually, I think the best way to achieve this is to use the dependenciesManagement section in the parent POM.
In your parent POM you define the specific versions of the dependencies you want in the dependenciesManagement section. These are not actual dependencies of the parent project, just a definition of which dependency should have which version. In your child project's POM, you define a dependency without specifying the version. It will use the version defined in the parent POM -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Lundberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 1:29 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Maven 1 to Maven 2 Question Girish1702 wrote: > > Hi > > In maven 1 you can modify the version of a dependency in the project.xml of > a sub-project through a master project.properties file. > > e.g in several project.xml you have > <version>${library.axis.version}</version> and in a master > project.properties you have library.axis.version=1.2.9.

There is a properties section in pom.xml that can be used to set properties. I'm not sure if they are inherited, but I think so. See the "Properties" section at http://maven.apache.org/pom.html > Thanks > -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ This e-mail may contain confidential information and/or copyright material.
