Thank you very much. But what is with the version of the parent project
in the modules pom files? I need to specify the version of the parent:
<parent>
<artifactId>fractionpainter-gui-parent</artifactId>
<groupId>com.deventm.fractionpainter</groupId>
<version>0.1</version>
</parent>
If I don't specify it, I get the error
"Reason: Missing version element from parent element for project
com.deventm.fractionpainter:fractionpainter-gui-config"
I don't like to update the version for the parent in each module's pom
file, is there a solution?
