Why do you add the version property to each of your modules? We use a parent pom like below, where all the information of a dependency is added to the dependencyManagement tag: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>be.telenet</groupId> <artifactId>main</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>Main Project</name> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>${ver-junit}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <properties> <ver-junit>3.8.1</ver-junit> </properties> </project> In the project POM's, I only use the groupId and artifactId of the dependency. The rest is resolved via the information in the dependencyManagement tag of the parent pom: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>be.telenet</groupId> <artifactId>someproject</artifactId> <packaging>jar</packaging> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <name>someproject</name> <parent> <groupId>be.telenet</groupId> <artifactId>main</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> Works like a charm!
