dependency not found - fails to replace the version with the property for parent pom

[lucist <lu...@conceptum.ca>]

Let`s say we have 2 branches Infrastructure and Web. 
The project web-core depends on infra-persist. 
We want to be able to manage the versions of the infra-persist and 
at the same time have a default value of 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT if no version 
is specified.  

Infrastructure 
   infra-parent
   infra-persist
and others 

Web
  web-parent
  web-core
and others 

In web-core I have 
	<artifactId>web-core</artifactId>
	<packaging>jar</packaging>
	<version>${web.core.version}</version>
	<parent>
		<groupId>com.abc.xyz</groupId>
		<relativePath>../web-parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
		<artifactId>web-parent</artifactId>
		<version>${web.parent.version}</version>
	</parent>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.abc.xyz</groupId>
			<artifactId>infra-persist</artifactId>
			<version>${infra.persist.version}</version>
		</dependency>

  
In web-parent I have 
	<version>${web.parent.version}</version>
	<description>Holds common settings</description>
	<properties>
		<web.parent.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</web.parent.version>
		<web.core.version>${web.parent.version}</web.core.version>
		<infra.parent.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</infra.parent.version>
		<infra.persist.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</infra.persist.version>		
	</properties>
	<modules>
        <module>../web-core</module>
		<!-- and others -->
    </modules>

In infra-persist I have  :
    <artifactId>infra-persist</artifactId>
    <version>${infra.persist.version}<version> 
	<parent>
		<groupId>com.abc.xyz</groupId>
		<relativePath>../infra-parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
		<artifactId>infra-parent</artifactId>
		<!-- Even though the parent version is specified as a property 
		in the current pom maven doesn't take it into account -->
		<version>${infra.parent.version}</version>
	</parent>

In infra-parent I have : 
	<artifactId>infra-parent</artifactId>
	<version>${infra.parent.version}</version>
	<packaging>pom</packaging>	
	<properties>
		<infra.parent.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</infra.parent.version>
		<infra.persist.version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</infra.persist.version>
	</properties>
	<modules>
        <module>../infra-persist</module>
    </modules>

	
My build of infra started from infra-parent with mvn clean install works. 
My build of we started from web-parent with mvn clean install fails with

The only way I can make it work is if i hardcode in infra-persist 
    <artifactId>infra-persist</artifactId>
    <version>${infra.persist.version}<version> 
	<parent>
		<groupId>com.abc.xyz</groupId>
		<relativePath>../infra-parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
		<artifactId>infra-parent</artifactId>
		<!-- Even though the parent version is specified as a property 
		in the current pom maven doesn't take it into account -->
		<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
	</parent>

Thank you for all your hints and ideas, 
Lucian
