I didn't know about that release plugin but it's too much for our
project right now. I'll tell you 1 vs 2...
In maven1 we do have a top level CurrentVersion that all subprojects
use, so they always match when checked out. And each file didn't have to
be changed so the versions matched, so a variable made sense.
I just want to avoid a hardcoded version constant to avoid error
especially with many devs checking in these.
So my thread here and the other are me trying to just get that number
propagated as a variable since I thought it would work.
As to the other thread's question, the
<version>${globalVersion}</version> is the one in the module's pom that
specifies it at the top level.
If I have to include the parent for it to work, I need the parent's
version number, which is what I am trying to avoid.
