             Summary: [Build][Java] use an avro.version property to help releases
                 Key: AVRO-3873
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3873
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Ryan Skraba


The current release process requires updating a number of files.  While many of them are read from {{share/VERSION.txt}}, some of them need to be embedded directly as strings.

It would be easier and more reliable to script the update process in the Java pom.xml files if they were defined as properties.  This is already the case in our [avro archetypes|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/d75abd591540ef34a334a3d73314f2748c8d868d/lang/java/archetypes/avro-service-archetype/src/main/pom/pom.xml#L36].

The following pom files should be updated to define and use ${avro.version}:
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/idl/pom-injecting-velocity-tools.xml
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/idl/pom.xml
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/protocol/pom-injecting-velocity-tools.xml
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/protocol/pom.xml
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/schema/pom-nonexistent-file.xml
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/schema/pom-nonexistent-second-file.xml
* lang/java/maven-plugin/src/test/resources/unit/schema/pom.xml
* doc/examples/java-example/pom.xml
* doc/examples/mr-example/pom.xml
