Update Maven dependency version in multiple ServiceMix POMs - maven

I am trying to automate process of changing version of a product that has ServiceMix (FuseESB) as an integration module.
Changing the version in each POM is quite easy with the Maven versions plugin:
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=NEW_VERSION -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
However, I am now struggling with updating version in dependencies that are other modules of this product. Particularly, in many Service Units' POM files there are dependencies like these (where OLD_VERSION is the same, older version number):
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.department.product.module1</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact1</artifactId>
<version>OLD_VERSION</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.department.product.module1</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact2</artifactId>
<version>OLD_VERSION</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.department.product.module2</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact3</artifactId>
<version>OLD_VERSION</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
And I would like to set the version number in those dependencies to "NEW_VERSION".
Do you guys have any ideas?

Just found very simple solution for this - replace dependencies' version with ${project.version} - works for me because in my project the dependencies have the same version as the project itself (they are all artifacts of the same product).

MAVEN : Is There A Possibility to Personnalize the Tree of dependencies in Maven Project

In my Pom.XML, there is two dependency that get with them the: 'org.keyclaok:keycloak-core' dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>ma.s2m.nxp</groupId>
<artifactId>nxp-keycloak-starter</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>
which is a starter developped by the company that come with the 'org.keycloak:keyclaok-core' version 13.0.0,
<dependency>
<groupId>io.strimzi</groupId>
<artifactId>kafka-oauth-client</artifactId>
<version>${strimzi-oauth-callback.version}</version>
</dependency>
This dependency come with 'org.keycloak:keycloak-core' version 11.0.2,
and the strimzi-oauth-callback.version property is 0.6.1
When i run mvn dependency:tree, i get the 'org.keycloak:keycloak-core' with the version 11.0.2 (the dependency that come with 'kafka-oauth-client'), and i need it to come from 'nxp-keycloak-starter'

Maven: using a dependency version as a property across different modules

I have got a project with a number of modules in it, now, e.g. I have a module M1 and its version 1.0.0 and in the same project I have got 8 other modules in which I have M1 as a dependency.
The problem is when I make a change in M1, update version to 1.0.1 and upload it to central repo, I have to change that version number 8 times.
I want to use this version number as property, which I have tried to put it as as a prop in parent pom but a maven warning saying its not right to do...
any thoughts? thanks in advance
Don't define the version as a property.
Adjust the <dependencyManagement> section in the parent pom like below:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.yourGroup</groupId>
<artifactId>M1</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<!-- eventually more dependencies -->
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
In the 8 modules which depend on M1, insert:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.yourGroup</groupId>
<artifactId>M1</artifactId>
</dependency>
Take a look at the POM Reference - Dependency Management for further knowledge

Override parent pom dependency

I made a simple EAR project with maven and wildfly, but I have some problems with obsolete dependencies.
Project structure is like:
Project
--EarProject
--BaseProject
--WarProject
--EjbProject
In parent Project's pom there is dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wildfly.bom</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-javaee-7.0-with-tools</artifactId>
<version>${version.jboss.bom}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
And in BaseProject's pom I use Selenium:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
</dependency>
The problem is that in BaseProject Maven libraries I see older versions of Selenium (ie. selenium-firefox-driver 2.40.0 instead of newer 2.44.0) and because of bugs in 2.40.0 my app does not work corectly.
I tried to add:
<version>2.44.0</version>
in BaseProject's pom, but I got warning like
Overriding managed version 2.40.0 for selenium-remote-driver
and it does not work.
How can I override version of dependency from parent's pom or exclude selenium from jboss-javaee-7.0-with-tools dependency?
How can I override version of dependency from parent's pom
The "Overriding managed version 2.40.0 for selenium-remote-driver" warning is a just a m2e warning not a Maven warning. With your code, you are correctly overriding the version of the dependency of the parent's pom. See this bug at Eclipse site for m2e about this warning. You can assert that by looking at the dependency tree (in Eclipse or with the mvn dependency:tree command)
or exclude selenium from jboss-javaee-7.0-with-tools dependency?
You can do that with the exclusions tag. It is a tag where you specify each groupId and artifactId that you want to exclude from the transitive dependencies resolved by Maven.

Excluding transitive dependency not working

Project A references Project B. Project B has included a local dependency. This local dependency unfortunately has a dependency to net.java.dev.designgridlayout in version 1.5.
We want to use net.java.dev.designgridlayout in version 1.11 in Project A but we are not able to "overwrite" the dependency. Eclipse always uses the dependency from Project B.
We already tried to exclude the 1.5 version from the local dependency, but it doesn't work.
The strange thing is, that Eclipse successfully resolves a class that has been added with version 1.11. For an already existing class, however, eclipse resolves it from the transitive dependency from de.someCompany.
Project B:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>de.someCompany</groupId>
<artifactId>fs-client</artifactId>
<version>5.1.209</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>net.java.dev.designgridlayout</groupId>
<artifactId>designgridlayout</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.java.dev.designgridlayout</groupId>
<artifactId>designgridlayout</artifactId>
<version>1.11</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Project A:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>Project-B</groupId>
<artifactId>Project-B</artifactId>
<version>1503.01</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
I also tried to include the 1.11 dependency in Project A.
We even tried to install the DesignGridLayout V. 1.11 in the local dependency and to change the groupID and artifactId to something different, but it cannot even be found by Eclipse for some reason. If it would be possible to include the DesignGridLayout with another groupId and artifactId, I think it would work.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib\designgridlayout.jar -DgroupId=com.company.designgridlayout -DartifactId=design-grid-layout -Dversion=1.11 -DgeneratePom=true -Dpackaging=jar -DlocalRepositoryPath="%USERPROFILE%\.m2\repository"
Not sure - but:
Your project A has a dependency to itself? Shouldn't it use project-b?
Its not a good idea to change group or artifact id's as maven can no longer detect its the same artifact. If you do a custom version the version number should be enough.
If you add the dependency in your own pom then you don't need to exclude the artifact, since the groupId and artifactId are the same. The version in your own pom will win in project-b. If project a defines that dependency again itself that version will win.
I would do a mvn dependency:tree on project-a pom to see where the dependencies come from.
For eclipse: it indexes the local repository. In the maven settings there is a re-index button. So if you manually copy jars in there that may help eclipse to find the artifact. But that workaround would need to be done on every machine. I would not count that as solution. In the maven world artifact-resolution is an infrastructure issue and should not be handled per project. The way this is done should be transparent through the settings.xml

Update pom to use released versions

Trying to find a way to update a pom to use latest versions of a RELEASED dependency instead of SNAPSHOT.
We have a assembly project that assembles an image to be deployed that during development uses SNAPSHOT dependencies.
But now I want to update the dependencies to use the latest released dependencies. Tried using versions:use-latest-releases but it only affects already released versions in the pom.
Any ideas?
EDIT (can not for security reasons post the pom but here's an example)
<project>
....
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b.c</groupId>
<artifactId>c-d-f</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b.c</groupId>
<artifactId>g-h-i</artifactId>
<version>1.1.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
...
</project>
Given that component a-b-c and g-h-i has been released with version 1.0.1 and 1.1.6 I want to replace their versions in this pom with these version numbers. Basically remove any snapshot dependencies in the pom.
EDIT
I should add that is to be an automated process with minimal human interaction. For some reason I can only get versions:update-properties to work if versions are already in release state. If I have a snapshot version 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT and want to update it to 0.0.1 it doesn't happen and I have verified the release exists. Same thing with versions:use-latest-relese, and versions:use-releases does nothing at all.
I see two approaches here:
You can create multiple profiles in your maven pom. Best way is to create a profile of "snapshot" and one for "release". Described here: Different dependencies for different build profiles in maven
You can use maven pom properties to define variables for your dependency versions. See here: http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/resource-filtering-sect-properties.html#resource-filtering-sect-user-defined
Hope that helps!
You can use maven properties in your pom.xml, such as:
<properties>
<c-d-f.version>1.0.1-SNAPSHOT</c-d-f.version>
<g-h-i.version>1.1.6-SNAPSHOT</g-h-i.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b.c</groupId>
<artifactId>c-d-f</artifactId>
<version>${c-d-f.version}</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>a.b.c</groupId>
<artifactId>g-h-i</artifactId>
<version>${g-h-i.version}</version>
<type>war</type>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
and when you want to change the versions, you can use maven-versions-plugin, with the following command, such as:
versions:update-properties -Dproperties=[${release_version}] -DincludeProperties={c-d-f.version}
EDIT:
Note that if you wanna use SNAPSHOTS, you need to add -DallowSnapshots. Read here for more options. And yes, the version needs to exist in the repo, otherwise it will fail. BTW did you use brackets, such as -Dproperties=[0.0.1]? after you read the link I sent you, you will see that this commmand's input is a range, so you must use brackets in order to specify a unique version.
