Thanks, I'll give that plugin a go for some other piece of work we need doing. As for the versioning problem, I got this to work:
1. Declare the version property in the parent pom. 2. In the child pom, add the project/parent/relativePath xml element. This introduces a source dependency on the parent pom (rather than binary via repository) which means that child can use all the parent properties.
