Child POMs Not Properly Inheriting Global Property Versions
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3847
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3847
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Environment: Mac OS X
Reporter: David Haines
We have two large projects, let's call them Project A and B, each with a super
pom and numerous sub-projects. In the super pom for each project, we define a
property called baseVersion and reference this variable in all applicable
artifact versions and dependent artifacts. Project A builds without issue.
Project B, however, depends on artifacts from Project A. Project B fails to
resolve the ${baseVersion} defined in its super pom when referenced as the
version in Project A dependent artifacts (see output below).
Can someone advise how we're meant to define global versions that may be
referenced throughout child pom's?
