Abhishekh Padmanbhan commented on MNG-2446: ------------------------------------------- I think I might have a workaround/solution to this problem using a profiles.xml (MAVEN 2.1.0) in the root project that holds the project current version as a property. This property then can be used as a value to the version in the parent tag definition in all its sub modules. Find below the workaround that I use to propagate the project version variable as a property to all of the project submodule. By doing this I avoid having to redefine the project parent pom version in all its submodules. *PROJECT STRUCTURE (all caps are modules)* ROOT - pom.xml - profiles.xml - WAR -- pom.xml - EJB -- pom.xml *profiles.xml* {noformat} <profilesXml> <profiles> <profile> <id>projectProfile</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> <properties> <currentVersion>1.0.1</currentVersion> </properties> </profile> </profiles> </profilesXml> {noformat} *ROOT/pom.xml* {noformat} <project> <groupId>projGrp</groupId> <artifactId>rootProjName</artifactId> <version>${currentVersion}</version> </project> {noformat} *ROOT/EJB/pom.xml* {noformat} <project> <artifactId>ejbProjName</artifactId> <packaging>ejb</packaging> <parent> <groupId>projGrp</groupId> <artifactId>rootProjName</artifactId> <version>${currentVersion}</version> </parent> </project> {noformat} I think this way the project version is a property just in one file profiles.xml in the ROOT project and will be the only file that changes when the version changes. I have not tested this exhaustively but seems to work in principle. > parent Pom properties not resolved for module dependencies > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2446 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2446 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: WindowsXP/Linux - JDK 1.4 last version > Reporter: Jeremie Poutrin > Assignee: Brett Porter > Priority: Minor > Attachments: InstallMojo.quoteReplacement.patch, > maven-version-problem.zip > > > root-project --> root-pom.xml with <version>${my.version}</version> > |------->proj1 <parent><version>${my.version}</version></parent> > |------->proj2 <parent><version>${my.version}</version></parent> > | | > | |->proj1 dependency > |------->proj3 <parent><version>${my.version}</version></parent> > if I compile from the root-project directory, all compile fine. > if I compile from the proj2 directory, maven2 resolve proj2-${my.version} > resolve proj1-${my.version} > but tries to resolve the parent version root-project-${my.version} but this > is not resolved. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
