Hi, 

we have a large system, containing separate software modules (backend.ear, 
ui.war, services.war and so on....)

During developement, we use snapshot dependencies to reference the other 
modules.
So a version of the whole system can be build by "one click" on our 
buildsystem, which than just deploys a new snapshot version and all is 
fine.

During release (one times a week) we need first to release the modules one 
by one - actually per hand, swap dependency versions and so on, 
than swap dependency versions back to next snapshot for the develeopement 
of next week and so on.
This is very error-prone and time consuming.

What´s the way to do this more efficient? Always build the whole system as 
one "multimodule" build? 
Is there a plugin that automatically can change dependency versions in 
pom.xml if there are newer versions available?

Thanx, 

torsten
