It is currently working as designed. Maven won't resolve properties for
any of the items in the parent section. The pom below would be a problem
if it was actually installed into a repository as it would require that
the property be specified even if the artifact was a transitive dependency.
I am working on a modification that allows the version to be obtained by
reading the pom located at the relativePath and getting the version from
it, but I still have a couple of issues to resolve. It wouldn't solve
your case though, as even there it won't actually accept a system
property for the version.

Hi,
This may sound silly but I can't get this to work:
<parent>
<groupId>ch.globus</groupId>
<artifactId>globus-parent-pom</artifactId>
<version>${version.globus-parent-pom}</version>
</parent>
I tried to define the property via settings.xml, via
%HOME%\mavenrc_pre.bat and directly on the command line. No luck.
Maven doesn't seem to resolve properties for parent POMs.
Why is that? Is that a bug?
