I forgot to add :
If you have an inheritence, you don't have to define the version in each
submodule (just the parent) and for dependencies you can use ${pom.version}
in each dependency or in the dependencyManagement of the parent like Kalle
proposed.
The problem is with the parent part of the pom because you have to always
define the version. For that I think that the release plugin is the best
choice.
