title: Maven2 inheritance
body: <p>If I have a parent pom and want to inherit this to several projects. I usually do this by adding in top of the project <code>&lt;parent&gt; ... &lt;/parent&gt;</code>. What I don't like about this  approach is that if something changes in my parent I have to edit all project which are inherited by that parent to modify the version number. Is there a better approach? I hope it is understandable what I'm trying to explain.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
