//did you try setting the necessary properties in settings.xml or profiles.xml
e.g.?
<profilesXml>
</profiles>
<profile>
<id>appserverConfig</id>
<properties>
<version>1.0</version>
</properties>

> In our enterprise applications we use MyEclipse 8.5 with
> M2Eclipse maven3 plug-in support. Before begining to use maven3, with maven2
> we
> could specify a variable for the application version in the parent pom, so
> that
> in the child poms we could able to specify the version by the same variable.
> That helps us saving our time for updating version number in each project
> upgrade and for reusability.

> I hope I can clearly demonstrate the problem as the
> following piece of code for pom.xml’s.

> Now the problem is in maven3 (m2eclipse) it gives a warning
> that says “version must be a constant instead of a variable”. I have been
> trying lots of variations such as moving out the <version> tag or
> swapping the expressions between <projectVersion> and <version>
> tags or the other suggestions from the different forum sites, etc.. However,
> the solution never comes up.. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but could not
