Hi all, some days ago I mentioned in IRC that some modules were using inconsistent versions if dependencies, I had then proposed to move some version properties from core to parent pom, but these properties are not visible in child poms, so went for another road. The usual way to implement this in Maven is to use <dependencyManagement> and define there the versions which have to be pinned down globally; This affects some poms. I'm not moving all versions to parent, as many modules are depending on stuff not relevant to other modules, but moved most common dependencies to dependencyManagement tag in root pom. Should I apply this, or anybody see problems? I don't know if there was a specific reason to not use dependencyManagement. patch is attached so you can see what I'm referring to. Cheers, Sanne
