Except where only required by a single EJB3 Module, we've put the dependencies into EJB3 Build POM's "dependencyManagement" section, where the version and scope may be inherited by sub-modules. You'll still need to put the groupId and artifactId into "Proxy", but the version will be set by EJB3 Build. One caveat: Ensure EJB3 Proxy has a parent of the correct EJB3 Build SNAPSHOT that you've changed. In general, we'd like to keep the versions closely aligned with those used by the AS Component Matrix (repos/jbossas/trunk/component-matrix/pom.xml) such that we compile/test against same versions used in the AS runtime, but we currently have no shared contract.
