--------------------------------------------
Hi Deckrider,
I can't say that I'm a big fan of dependencyManagement for specifying version
numbers. Almost every developer on my team has tripped over it at one point or
another.
It usually goes something like ...
"The error says that I haven't provided a version number for my new dependency,
but neither does the dependency that I copied from."
Any time-saving that dependencyManagement is supposed to give me is all used up
the first time a developer hits the above problem (not to mention the 2nd, 3rd,
4th...). I now specify the version numbers of all my dependencies as properties
in the parent pom.
E.G.
{code:xml}
<properties>
<log4j.version>1.2.14</log4j.version>
<spring.version>2.5.1</spring.version>
</properties>
{code}
As per dependencyManagement, it allows me to specify the version number in a
single location, with virtually the same amount of up-front effort. But it also
has the added advantage of being a layer of indirection that is easier for
developers to follow and saves the team a lot of time in the long run.

> Within jarResources, version should not be required. If it is not provided,
