How to update Maven3 dependencies in a jenkins Continuous integration environment? - maven

Question

I am using Maven 3 to build my java EAR and Jenkins as CI tool. My maven project is multi-module project that builds a jar, war and EAR.
I am using maven-version-plugin:use-latest-versions goal to update the war dependency in my EAR POM during clean phase.
This updates war dependency version to latest(19.3) version in EAR POM but fails to package the latest WAR(19.3) to EAR.
Maven is using the old version(19.2) of WAR during EAR packaging.How do I configure maven to use latest built dependency?
Thank you in advance

Here is how I fixed my issue with incrementing dependency versions.
I used maven-version-plugin:update-versions to increment the POM version number. Then for dependencies version I used ${project.version}. This keeps POM versions's and dependencies always in sync which helps in CI environment.
Please post if you have a better solution.
