Kristian Waagan commented on DERBY-4267:
----------------------------------------

Hi m,

The placeholder will only exist in Derby's source code repository.
When a release is cut, it will be replaced by a specific Derby version number - 
for instance 10.5.3.0.
The only purpose of the placeholder is to make it easier for the person 
generating the Maven artifacts to do a search and replace to insert the correct 
version number.
There are quite a few POMs, and doing it manually is a bit tedious.

The process above is generally what I would have expected the Maven install 
plugin to do, using the ${derby.version} variable.

Instead of a placeholder, maybe we could just the current version number, but 
it may incur a little extra work as we generate release candidates (that we 
don't actually release).


Thanks for the feedback,
