Wayne, your answer sounds like it might solve my problem, but I am a new user
and am not sure of the syntax to implement your suggestion.
I am creating a buildnumber with a time stamp in the parent pom using the
buildnumber plugin. I want to pass the resultant property, ${buildNumber},
to all the children to include in their manifests. I have tried several
things, but have found no way to reference this property in the children
poms.
I have been through hundreds of postings and googled other items and this
question seems to come up a lot, but no one ever responds or their response
is too criptic for a novice to implement.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne
