Find a way to avoid version declaration in dependencies

[dumoulin]

All external bundles dependencies versions are managed in the root pom.xml, but for dependencies to bundles built by simexplorer (when groupID is org.simexplorer) we have to specify version using a variable. It occurs for:

• simexplorer bundles, you have to use ${project.version} property, example:

          <dependency>
              <groupId>org.simexplorer</groupId>
              <artifactId>org.simexplorer.model</artifactId>
              <version>${project.version}</version>
          </dependency>
  

• bundles built for third-party dependencies, you have to use appropriate property, example:

          <dependency>
              <groupId>org.simexplorer</groupId>
              <artifactId>org.apache.commons.collections15</artifactId>
              <version>${lib.org.apache.commons.collections15.version}</version>
          </dependency>
  

A solution could be to add this dependency in the dependencymanagement section of the root pom.xml. It works, but it'll will a huge list (may be harder to maintain ?).

It doesn't matter.
