------------------------------------

For the workaround have a look here:
http://mojo.codehaus.org/flatten-maven-plugin/examples/example-multiple-versions.html

2nd release is out in central repo. Just add this to your top-level POM build 
section:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-beta-2</version>
</plugin>

> currently, you have to specify the parent version when extending which makes 
> a project stand alone very easily, but has the drawback of being a 
> maintainance problem when you start development on a new version. Tools can 
> help, but it would be nice not to have to rely on them.
> One alternative is to allow the parent version to be omitted, and when it is 
> it is assumed you want the latest. The parent is used from the reactor or the 
> universal source directory. IT may also be read from a LATEST in the 
> repository though this is contentious - it may be better to simply fail in 
> that environment and require builds be in a known checkout structure for 
> building individual projects.
> This also introduces the need for tool support to populate the version on 
> release and deployment for reproducibility.
