maven using parent dependencyManagement with ${project.version} causes dependency in wrong version

Question

I have the following structure with the following dependency: child1->child2.

and a parent for both which consolidates all versions in dependency management, using ${project.version}.

Folder structures:

+ parent
  + child1
  + child2

See poms below + complete example here.

Everything works find when child2's version is set to 1.0-SNAPSHOT.

When trying to change just child2's version to 2.0-SNAPSHOT, I get the following error:

Failure to find ...:child1:jar:2.0-SNAPSHOT

Why is maven trying to find version child1 2.0 and not 1.0?

Answer 1

It seems that replacing ${project.version} in the parent pom with hard coded 1.0-SNAPSHOT solved this.

Don't know exactly why changing to hard coded values worked, but at least works now.
