Re: [seam-dev] Seam parent version

I'm confused every time I build. I think it should be: Yeah. This is probably my fault. This is the stack POM which defines a distribution. It doesn't normally appear directly in the hierarchy of the Seam POMs. Instead it should be imported by the various modules (and defines the version of Seam they are building against). IOW we would end up with: Seam Faces 3.0.0.Alpha1 imports Seam 3.0.0.Beta1 and uses the dep versions it suggests. Seam 3.0.0.Beta2 specifies an upgraded stack of deps, including Seam Faces 3.0.0.Alpha1. When imported into a project, it is closer to the project, and so has *its* versions used rather than those which are imported from the stack POM via Seam Faces. I know, this is slightly confusing, but will work :-) It has a separate SVN structure as we need to tag it separately from the build stuff (which just defines the build environment). I will try to write this all up today and also review module's usage.
