Updating version numbers in multiple-POM hierarchy

[Marshall Schor <ms...@schor.com>]

We have our project constructed using multiple sub-components, each with
their own POM, all of which inherit from a common <parent> POM.

When we want to update to the next version, we change the parent POM,
and inherit common info into the children.  However, we seem to have to
update all of the children, individually, to refer to the new version of
the parent.

Is there a best practices way to do this, other than making a script to
do the update?

Hi,

you should try using the release feature of Maven :
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin
