Parent POM modified without version number upgrade

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the parent POM (as3commons-project) from the Google Code repository
2. Attempt to build an application using AS3Commons with the Flex 3.6 SDK
3. Maven downloads the wrong SDK dependency (4.1.0.16076)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If you are changing a major dependency of the project, the version number of 
the POM needs to be incremented. Otherwise, versions of AS3Commons that work 
with the Flex 3 SDK can no longer use it via Maven, because Maven now has the 
wrong information.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using as3commons-reflect 1.3 on Windows

Please provide any additional information below.
Most repositories (Adobe Cairngorm, projects.yoolab.org) have the older version 
of the parent POM. The dev.yoolab.org has the latest 1.0.0 POM with the new 
information.

The way I think something like this should be handled is to increment the 
version of the parent POM when major dependencies are upgraded. The child 
project POMs would then be upgraded to the new version as well. This would mean 
that any previous releases would continue to work as expected without bringing 
in extraneous dependencies.

Hi there,

sorry for replying so late. Thanks for the heads-up, we'll try and make sure 
the parent pom's version gets incremented next time changes are made to it.

cheers,

Roland
