Release plugin and multimodule interdependent childs

[Martin Eigenbrodt]

This may be a beginner question,  but I haven't found any hints..
I've got a project that contains a servlet and an ejb. The Servlet depends
on the ejb. I've trouble releasing that as complete project.

My directory Layout is like:

pom.xml <- package type pom
   servlet
       pom.xml
  ejb
       pom.xml

the parent pom has version 1.1-SNAPSHOT.  The Servlet an ejb pom don't
specify a version (inherit them).
The Servlet defines a dependecy on the ejb without specifing a version.
The dependencyMangement section from the parent pom contains:
 <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>myGroup<groupId>
      <artifactId>ejb<artifactId>
      <version>${project.version}</version>
    </dependency>

If I try release:prepare the build fails with "Failed to resolve artifacts:
myGroup:ejb:1.1

I understand why this happens but is there a obvious solution? How do you
release multimodule projects with interdependent childs?

Best regards,

Martin
