The the answer is yes, he/she needs to create a new version of the parent. But, I think you're just making things too complicated. A developer just don't all of a sudden want to work with a new version. This is a bigger decision. Also, why don't you start simple without the import poms and then work it from there. Keep all the depMgmt info as far down the chain as possibel to start with and then move it upwards (to a parent) when you've gotten used to how you work.
