Sven,
I did some thing like you are describing. We used one version number for 30
or so modules. We ran maven like this:
mvn install -DbuildVersion=1.1-DEVELOPERNAME-SNAPSHOT
Then in the poms...
<dependency>
<groupId>my.group.id</groupId>
<artifactId>test-program</artifactId>
<version>${buildVersion}</version>
</dependency>
We had to hard code the parent version, couldn't get it to work with a
variable, but everything else worked fine.
