Hi,
The parent pom belongs to a build config project and contains common build
configuration, ie dependency management, plugin management etc.
The parent pom is common for many projects with different release cycles,
therefore it will have a different version than the child projects.
Some of the plugin definitions in the plugin management section of the
parent pom refer to plugins (or libs that the plugins depend on) within the
build config project and thus have the same version as the parent pom.
It is these references within plugin management that I would like to avoid
having to manually update when doing a release.
The relevant parts of the parent pom:
<pluginManagement>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.orc.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>checkstyle_config</artifactId>
<version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
....
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>native-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
....
</plugin>
The bold parts are the ones I like to replace with a reference to the
version of the pom they reside in.
