Hi Curtis,
in Maven, the parent version can't be inherited because it need to
find the exact version, either in the project, in your local repo, or
from a remote repo. However if you just want your sub module to
inherit the version of the parent, simply leave the version of your
submodule out.
ie
1. in parent pom, set the coordinates as per normal and list the
submodules, or if you are using an existing pom that you don't want to
touch, skip this bit.
<groupId>org.jasig.portal.portlets-overlay</groupId>
<artifactId>uportal-portlets-overlay</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<modules>
<module>submodule</module>
</modules>
2. in sub module, create the parent block with all details filled in,
set your coords for this module but leave out the version tag for your
own module
<parent>
<groupId>org.jasig.portal.portlets-overlay</groupId>
<artifactId>uportal-portlets-overlay</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<groupId>org.jasig.portal.portlets-overlay</groupId>
<artifactId>uportal-portlets-overlay-submodule</artifactId>
For this submodule, the version will be inherited as 1.0-SNAPSHOT.
So when changing version numbers, at most you'll just need to change
the parent POM version (if you did step 1), and then the parent block
of every sub module (step 2).
cheers,
Steve
