>                 Key: MNG-5890
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5890
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Bootstrap & Build, core, General
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.3
>            Reporter: Jordan Zimmerman
>            Priority: Major
>
> Often, in reactor builds, modules need to refer to properties relative to the root pom. E.g.:
> {noformat}
> root-pom.xml
> \___ module1-pom.xml
>          \___ sub-module1-pom.xml
> \___ module2-pom.xml
>          \___ sub-module2-pom.xml
> {noformat}
> In this example, there's no way to set a dependency in the root pom that uses the root pom's parent version. This is because $\{project.parent.version\} will be evaluated relatively in module1/2 and sub-module1/2. In module1/2, it will refer to the root's parent. But, in sub-module1/2 it will refer only to the root.
> Ideally, we could do something like this:
> {code:type=xml}
> <parent>
>     <groupId>my.group</groupId>
>     <artifactId>foo</artifactId>
>     <version>1.2.3</version>
> </parent>
> <dependencyManagement>
>     <dependencies>
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>my.group</groupId>
>             <artifactId>a-different-artifact-in-my.group</artifactId>
>             <version>${root.parent.version}</version>
>         </dependency>
>     </dependencies>
> </dependencyManagement>
> {code}
> With this "root" feature, $\{root.parent.version\} would refer to the same value at every level of the reactor build.
