----------------------------------------

I am facing a similar issue,  where i get this exception "org.apache.maven.BuildFailureException: The version could not be updated: ${productname.xyz.version}, this is a version property i have defined in my room pom (and being used in child poms) defines the version of the current product/project heirarchy, and instead of using project.version everywhere i have defined this...

> I manually built 2.0-beta-5 from maven-release-1 tag because of bug in 2.0-beta-4.  I have found a problem using 2.0-beta-5 with a large multi-module project which makes heavy use of  ${version} macros.  This macro is used for the version for any dependency on modules within each module.  For example in one module where I have a dependency on 3 other modules I have this:
> <dependencies>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>com.xrite</groupId>
>       <artifactId>xdsiii-driver-api</artifactId>
>       <version>${version}</version>
>     </dependency>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>com.xrite</groupId>
>       <artifactId>xdsiii-driver</artifactId>
>       <version>${version}</version>
>     </dependency>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>com.xrite</groupId>
>       <artifactId>xdsiii-instrument-dtp22</artifactId>
>       <version>${version}</version>
>     </dependency>
> When I run the prepare phase I get the following error:
> [INFO] Transforming 'X-Rite XDSIII Instrument Drivers'...
> [INFO] Transforming 'X-Rite XDSIII Base Instrument'...
> [INFO] Transforming 'X-Rite XDSIII DTP22 Instrument'...
> [INFO] Updating xdsiii-instrument-base to 1.84
> [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE

> [INFO] The version could not be updated: ${version}

> [INFO] Trace
> org.apache.maven.BuildFailureException: The version could not be updated: ${version}
> It starts updating the poms with the new release version and then fails part way through the process.
> I will attach some files:
