If you have 10 places where the dependencies need changing you are doing it
wrong.
You should have zero <version> definitions in your modules.
All version definitions are in the topmost parent pom in the
dependencyManagement section.
If you have a bunch of things that share versions, you can also create a
property and then use something like ${mygroup.version} so that you only
need to update the property section once.
Have you read the freely available Maven books?
It's been long while since I've read them but I think this advice is in
there.
