Version of Cocoon artifacts in our root pom for a release

[Reinhard Poetz <re...@apache.org>]

Can anybody tell me what the right version for Cocoon artifacts in our 
*released* root pom is:

  a) the snapshot version
     I don't think that's a good idea because IIUC, if a user adds a dependency
     on cocoon-core which has many transitive dependencies, he would have to
     set all versions in his own pom so that the versions don't get overriden by
     a snapshot version.

  b) the release version
     How do I know which version to set in advance? Or am I supposed to release
     the root pom for every module I want to release? That sounds too silly to be
     true, doesn't it?

  c) remove Cocoon internal dependencies from our root pom for the release?
     The best option I can think of but I'm not sure ...

  d) ???

Any ideas/opinions?
