spring-parent defines all dependencies spring-2.5 pulls in spring-parent as parent (and re-declares only those dependencies that changed for 2.5)
spring-3.0 pulls in spring-parent as parent (and re-declares only those dependencies that changed for 3.0) the 'shared dependencies' for spring are in spring-parent if you need to pull in other managed-dependencies declare <scope>import</scope> for that <managed->dependency does this help?
