Hi,

I do have a question regarding referencing the parent pom of a multi module project as described in chapter 3 of "Better Builds With Maven". If a project consists of multiple modules (e.g.: api, core, model, ..), these modules reside in sub-directories of a top level directory. Each module has it's own pom.xml and the top level directory holds a pom.xml where project global settings are defined. Each module's pom sets a reference to the parent, by defining the following snippet:
<parent>
   <groupId/>
   <artifactId/>
   <version/>
</parent>

Is there a way to reference the parent module without explicitly specifying the version? In a scenario where all modules are released at the same time, their version should be the same, so the application version is defined in the parent pom.xml. But whenever this version changes, all references in the sub-modules need to be updated.

It's cumbersome to manually edit every pom.xml in every sub-directory, just because the application version has changed.

Do I miss something here?

Yes: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/

The plugin will take care if the POM updates for you.

Jerome
