Greets,
I have a big maven project that has about 300 pom files in it. Currently,
the <version> is hardcoded on all the pom.xml files and moving from one
version to another is a PITA. My question is, what's the best way of
doing away with the hardcoded value and moving to a variable where it can
be set in the parent pom. Right now, I'm experimenting by setting version
to <version>${build_version}</version> and added in my parent pom
<properties><build_version>2.2</build_version></properties>. For the
most part, this works fine, but there are some sub-components in the
project where ${build_version} is not getting expanded, which is quite
annoying, to say the least.
Here's a sample output where the variable is not getting expanded.
