Maven version with a property

Question

I have big Maven (Tycho) project witch about 400 plug-ins.

We have specified version of application in each POM file.

Is there a way how to specify the versi

Answer 1

If you have a parent project you can set the version in the parent pom and in the children you can reference sibling libs with the ${project.version} or ${version} properties.

If you want to avoid to repeat the version of the parent in each children: you can do this:

4.0.0
company
build.parent
${my.version}
pom


1.1.2-SNAPSHOT

And then in your children pom you have to do:

    
      build.parent
      company
      ../build.parent/pom.xml
      ${my.version}
    

    4.0.0
    company
    artifact
    eclipse-plugin

    
         
           company
           otherartifact   
           ${my.version}
or
           ${project.version}
