maven properties
Hi,
Is it possible to specify pom properties in a properties file? I found a
reference here: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Properties but this just
refers to other ways of setting properties. I actually want to use a
property for the version in my parent and child poms as they should all be
the same. Also it's no good declaring that property in the parent pom - as
they wouldn't be able to find it in the first place!
Thanks
- Ashley

Thanks, I'll give that plugin a go for some other piece of work we need
doing.
As for the versioning problem, I got this to work:
1. Declare the version property in the parent pom.
2. In the child pom, add the project/parent/relativePath xml element. This
introduces a source dependency on the parent pom (rather than binary via
repository) which means that child can use all the parent properties.

I never managed to make stuff like this work (i.e. inheriting or
extending parent properties in child properties.
Regarding property files, google for maven-properties-plugin.

If you just want ensure that all children have the same version as the
parent pom you just can let out the version tag in the child poms and
they will inherit it from the parent.
Also it's no good declaring that property in the parent pom - as
