title: Maven multi-module project version management
body: <p>What is the best practice for specifying version of a multimodule maven project? </p>
  
  <p>I would like to have one version string across all modules. Even if I can have only one version definition in the root parent pom, I need to specify the parent pom version in each pom's. Which means, if I need to change version, I need to change all poms. Practically defeats the purpose. Any ideas??</p>
