of course in your parent pom.xml you can happily use ${project.version} to specify the dependencies on child modules which saves you worrying about that part :)
I had problems with using ${project.version} as when the artifacts are deployed to a snapshot repository the pom metadata is using the resolved timestamped snapshot version and not just the latest snapshot available. I have continuum re-building the system hourly and since the parent pom and modules are built individually by continuum I had to change from ${project.version} in the parent pom dependency management section to -SNAPSHOT and all started working as I expected. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
