Kenney Westerhof commented on MNG-2486:
---------------------------------------
This issue deals with the fact that whenever ${project.version} or
${pom.version} is evaluated to a POM <version> tag (be it parent,
or project, present in a dependency or dependencyManagement or anywhere else in
the POM),
and that version is a SNAPSHOT version, then the timestamped version is used,
instead of the literal string.
This causes problems with multimodule builds that share versions but aren't
always deployed as a whole.
Even if they are deployed as a whole, this could cause problems since the
timestamps might not be the same for all artifacts.

> when projects specify dependencyManagement sections with a shorthand version
> notation using the current project version (using ${project.version}) the
> version resolved will be that of the POM in which the dependencyManagement
> section is specified. If this POM is a snapshot, these dependency
> specifications will get the timestamp/buildnumber of that POM, instead of the
> actual one used when the dependency it references gets deployed.
> We should look at strategies for limiting or eliminating this practice, or
> else (somehow) pulling the real timestamp/buildnumber for that artifact from
> the reactor...in order to make these deps transitively resolvable for users.
