You can specify a dependency version using an expression like this:
<version>${project.version}</version>
${project.version} refers to the POM’s project/version value.
Note that you can declare project properties, and use those in expressions too.
See this for more details:

Having said that…. It sounds like you have a chicken-egg problem and that
really needs to be fixed. While Maven certainly supports dynamic dependency
management, it will highlight and prevent poor software engineering practices
such as cyclic dependencies. You will discover that even if you can get a
cyclic build working, the release process will be broken. And, you will
undoubtedly run into build race conditions and other bad things.
So, you need to figure out how to isolate the common dependencies into a third
library to break the cyclic dependency. Instead of something like this:
- A depends on B, B depends on A (BAD!)
How about:
- A depends on C, B depends on C (OK!)
C may be just Interfaces — maybe no implementation.
Your Tess can depend on A — but A should not depend on the Tests — it defeats
the value of isolating the Tests.
Hope this helps,
